Hello,

it would be helpful, if gitk would allow checkouts not only for local  
branches but also for remote branches and any other commit.

For remote branches, it is sufficient to remove the code that greys out  
the context menu. The context menu for regular commits would need a new  
entry.

Of course, this can easily be done via command line - but that's true for  
every gitk feature :)

Another feature that would really suit gitk is the "Tools" menu from  
git-gui. A simple 1:1 copy would be fine ;)
