gitk takes a path to limit commits to those touching those files. However, doing "gitk ." does not list any files in the right window file list when trying to view commits for the current dir (which would seem to be a common use-case, particularly for me at least). Why is the affected [subset] of files not shown?

Just seems to be a bug to this newbie, particularly when it does work as I expect if I do a "cd .." and then "gitk src" where src was my original dir. I'm using version 1.6.5.3 now but this has existed since I started with git quite some time ago.
