Currently I have to cut and paste the ids of the "interesting" commits into the command line. It would be nice to be able to point directly to an interesting commit and tag it so that I can later get to it from a command line using a name I can remember. Still, I can quite accept that I have an idiosyncratic way of interacting with git and gitk. jon. -- homepage: http://www.zeta.org.au/~jon/ blog: http://orwelliantremors.blogspot.com/
