I was rather surprised to find that after running "gitk .." (which showed a grand total of 4 commits) wish had a virtual size of ~1.1G - which on a machine with 1G physical RAM is not a good thing. Does anyone know if this is to be expected from a large repository (~2.5G packed), or do I have a buggy version of wish installed? -- Julian --- Get Revenge!
