Being an ignorant in matters Tk, I am wondering whether it'd be
possible to hack gitk so that it renders the top canvas into a file.
gitweb doesn't give people any hints of how the heads are related, so
I am working on the idea of running an hourly cron on the server that
does

 gitk -d --all --max-count=1000 --prettypic=foo.png

and link to the png from gitweb. Is it easier to trick gitk to do it,
or should I be thinking of porting the logic to some other script?
(Possibly in Perl using GD).

cheers,


martin
