Here's a screen shot that surprised me with a really high 'ewwww' factor when I fired up gitk this morning on my local git repo, given that it looks pretty the rest of the time.

This repo tracking git master with just one extra commit that I've added and rebase off origin repeatedly.

The area around where the 'master' green tag is displayed (specifically the two lines below it) are surprisingly poor.

I'm not going to learn tcl/tk and how gitk works to investigate, though, but maybe someone else cares enough and/or can see a trivial fix...

If trying to recreate, e011472b550b27a4644403c6fa99543ee9004a63 is only on my local machine, but I can supply a copy of my tree too.
