I don't know if it is preferred, but it works. First add a git alias:

[alias]
        tignowalk-helper = !git rev-list --pretty=raw --no-walk --stdin<

Then modify tignowalk by replacing the line calling tig to say:

TIG_MAIN_CMD="git tignowalk-helper $tmp" tig </dev/tty

... and it should work. Maybe more git alias functionality can simplify the hack.
