Yeah. Sadly, this is a really irritating bug, becuase it means that you cannot do gitk -50 to see some random collection of 50 recent commits. (And yes, I've wanted to do that - I know the commit is fairly recent, so rather than write "gitk @{1.hour.ag}..", I'd rather just be lazy and say "gitk -100" to get a smaller slider bar and easier to find the recent ones). I never cared enough to fix it, but it's a mis-feature. I agree that it's probably not entirely trivial to fix. Linus
