Subject: [PATCH] gitk: Handle blobs containing a DOS end-of-file marker.
Message-ID: <87y6v5ojdj.fsf@users.sourceforge.net>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/87y6v5ojdj.fsf%40users.sourceforge.net

```

  If a patchset contains an EOF marker (Ctrl-Z) the blob diff terminates
  at that point. This patch permits gitk to ignore the eof and continue to
  display any subsequent blobs and also displays a sensible representation
  of the eof char.
