From: Jon Seymour Date: Sat, 02 Jul 2005 06:09:38 GMT Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Change to gitk to make it use --topo-order rather than --merge-order Message-ID: <20050702060938.13030.qmail@blackcubes.dyndns.org> This patch make gitk use --topo-order rather than --merge-order. There is no actual advantage in doing this as the git-rev-list execution times are dwarfed by tcl/tk overheads so the 3-4 time git-rev-list speedup is effectively invisible. Still, it does demonstrate the use of the --topo-order flag. One advantage of this patch would be to allow gitk to be used in environments that don't have the ssl bignum library available for some reason. Signed-off-by: Jon Seymour --- This patch assumes that git has been patched to include support for --topo-order. Here's a chance to test merging a gitk patch from git back into gitk :-) --- gitk | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) 4deb99b73fd6fc8e4995b55e9e23988c8766f509 diff --git a/gitk b/gitk --- a/gitk +++ b/gitk @@ -37,7 +37,7 @@ proc getcommits {rargs} { set parsed_args $rargs } if [catch { - set commfd [open "|git-rev-list --header --merge-order $parsed_args" r] + set commfd [open "|git-rev-list --header --topo-order $parsed_args" r] } err] { puts stderr "Error executing git-rev-list: $err" exit 1 ------------
