Gitk feature - show nearby tags

I just pushed out an update to the "new" branch of the gitk.git repository, which adds a feature that I have often wished for: it will now show the nearest preceding and following tags when you select a commit. This is very useful if you need to identify which release was the first to incorporate a particular patch, or if you need to know which release a patch might have been based on.

(Specifically, it shows the tags for all tagged descendents that are not descendents of another tagged descendent of the selected commit, and the tags for all tagged ancestors that are not ancestors of another tagged ancestor of the selected commit.)

Since there is a one-off computation that gitk does to work this out, which takes an appreciable time (about 1.5 seconds on my G5 on the kernel repository), I have made gitk do the computation in the background, and update the diff/file display window when it's done. There is also a checkbox in the preferences window where you can turn it off if you don't want gitk to do this computation.

Comments/suggestions welcome.

Paul.
