Subject: "gitk --author=foo" shows also parent
Message-ID: <571F6852.1070405@qt.io>

Hi!

	$ gitk --author=foo

...seems to show also the parent of each author-matched commit, whereas

	$ git log --author=foo

does not. Is this intended or a bug? I've stumbled over this while 
configuring a gitk view with the author field.

# Setup
~/work/gitkBug % git init .
~/work/gitkBug % touch file1 file2
~/work/gitkBug % git add file1
~/work/gitkBug % git commit "--author=MrFoo <foo@world>" file1 -m "add 
file1"
~/work/gitkBug % git add file2
~/work/gitkBug % git commit "--author=MrBar <bar@world>" file2 -m "add 
file2"

# TEST: git log --author - OK
~/work/gitkBug % git log --author=MrBar # OK, as expected
