So the error message does not come from gitk / \ntk, but from git rev-list. I'm getting the same error (argument list too \nlong) if I manually enter the command at the shell.\n\nIs anyone else experiencing this and has a solution? Is the problem \nrather that the list of IDs is wrong (and thus too long), or do we need \nto find a work-around to pass auch long command lines to git rev-list?\n\nThanks.\n\n-- \nSebastian Schuberth\n"},{"id":"211840","messageId":"1363847955088-7580237.post@n2.nabble.com","threadId":"22820","inReplyTo":"hm5usf$6ba$1@dough.gmane.org","subject":"Re: gitk says \"file name too long\"","fromName":"steven Loker","fromEmail":"stevenlokerr@gmail.com","sentAt":"2013-03-21T06:39:15Z","receivedAt":"2013-03-21T06:39:15Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"stevenlokerr@gmail.com","avatar":null},"body":"Use LongPathTool.
