Re: [PATCH v2 0/2] gitk: improve handling of submodules in the file list panel

> From: Alex Riesen <raa.lkml@gmail.com>

> Currently, the submodule entries in the file list panel are mostly ignored.
> This series attempts to improve the situation by showing part of submodule
> history when focusing it in the file list panel and by adding a menu element
> to start gitk in the submodule (similar to git gui).
>
> This iteration does not address the behaviour of file list panel in tree mode
> when gitk is started from a subdirectory (gitk strictly limits the file
> listing to the files in that repository, without a way out).
> I would like to hear some more opinions regarding changing its behaviour to
> always list the full tree.
