How is this better than running "gitk --follow -- file"?
Also, it's rather a large patch with only a two-line patch description,
which is not really adequate. And it's missing a Signed-off-by.
I think the right way to do this is to have the file menu option
create a new view specifying the file and the --follow option,
rather than creating a whole new window.
