Hi all,

If I launch gitk, switch the lower right pane from Patch view mode to Tree view, expand a few directories, and then changing to viewing a different commit, the tree automatically collapses again. This is really annoying when trying to view changes to the tree structure over time; is there any way to stop it, or would it be an easy tweak to the code for someone familiar with it? I had a look at the code but could hardly understand any of it :-/

Thanks, Adam
