Commit 140b378d07229e breaks gitk highlighting

gitk since the above commit ("Teach git diff-tree --stdin to diff trees") fails to reliably highlight commits matching a given path specification. For an example of the problem,

   $gitk ec3a4ba519c001
   and select commit "touching paths" with "t" in the entry bar

The 4'th commit down (t9124: clean up chdir usage) is NOT highlighted, though it clearly touches t. Reverting commit 140b378 restores the correct behavior. This gets into parts of the code I don't understand, so I decline to try to offer a patch.
