It might be unintuitive to a user when "gitk HEAD -- ." does not show any files in the lower right pane. This patch fixes that.

	My initial analysis was all wrong.

	Pat: does this look correct to you?

	Kirill: does this fix the issue on your side, too?

	Paul: since we need this for Git Cheetah, and you are probably too 
	busy to apply/review in the next few weeks, I took the liberty of 
	keeping it as a git.git patch. Let me know if I you want it 
	in a different form that does not require git-am's -p2 option.
