I am having 2 different problems with gitk and "wide" patches
- the commit list appears garbled if the first line of the commit message is wider than the display window, as it gets wrapped and doesn't quite fit in the 1-line-height allowed by the commit listing
- the patch view never gets horiz scroll bars, even if the width of the commit message and/or patch itself is wider than the canvas
If I find some time to wade through tk source and understand it, I'll try to post a patch for the first one. I suspect the second one is a bit harder. In any case, someone with a more adept hand at tk might find it easier ;-)
