Hello.
I am using gitk to lookup changes to specific files:
$ gitk example.txt

I noticed that the history is cut off if I renamed or moved the file somewhen in the past. Although I use the --follow parameter gitk does not resolve the former file history:

$ gitk --follow example.txt
However, when I use git log --follow the full history is output:
$ git log --follow example.txt
Can you please let gitk resolve the full history as git log does already?

Thank you for your work! I appreciate very much. Best regards, Tobias
