Hello Johannes,

This fixes only one half of the problem.  Now 

	gitk fixes ^linus/master --

works fine, but 

	gitk fixes ^linus/master

still hangs.  

I didn't try Gerrits patch yet.

BTW, I don't use a range, because originally I used something like:

	git branch | cut -b3- | grep -v ^attic/ | xargs gitk ^linus/master

Now I have to think how I can add the ending "--" ...
