It seems that since that tig commit, "tig show <commit>" shows HEAD rather than <commit>. OTOH, "tig <commit>" does navigate to <commit>.

The reason is that tig passes %(commit), not %(revargs), to git show for the "show" subcommand, but the obvious simple patch breaks diff view. I guess somewhere in the codepath one has to differentiate between those. cc'ing Mr. Tig...
