Hi Pavel,

I know what you mean ;-)

To avoid range select dialog simply call qgit with some command line option (arguments are feeded to git-rev-parse, so the same options of gitk are allowed), qgit shows the dialog only if called with no arguments.

If you don't want to type options just call qgit and press enter as soon as range select appears, by default you will see commits from HEAD to latest tag.

If, instead, you want to see whole the history, press "Canc" to delete "to" field tag and then press enter. That's the reason the focus is on "to" field by default ;-)

An option at startup to bybass range select could be an idea tough.

"Show All" is simply a shortcut for git-rev-parse --show-all option, to see all the branches between selected commit range.

Tags selection is to define selected commit range

Peraphs it should be better call it "Show all branches" and add a new check "Show whole history"

Thanks for your feedback.

Marco
