Here are the details:

TIG_VERSION="0.16-11-gf1fe753"

[kumar@redsun ~/Software/tig/tig] git --version
git version 1.7.1

./tig show HEAD
./tig show HEAD^ # Both show me f1fe753be71ef3ce5abcbb16c2a359f97e5c7e7d

Now, if I check out 53c089443cd9885fa677becee4bf7ffd56c3c357^, then I
get back the expected behaviour.

Please let me know if I've made some mistake.

Thanks!

Kumar
