I use the dev branch of gitk (on Windows), commit 476ca63 (gitk: Index

[fnvr]highlights by id rather than row).


1. Start it with:


    gitk --all -300


2. Make a commit.

3. Hit F5. Here I see the error message:


   Error reading commits:

   fatal: bad revision '^-300'


At this time the label of the current branch is already gone from the

commit list. There are no other changes made in the display.


Hitting F5 again does nothing. I have to create a new view to get an

updated display.


Any help is appreciated. Thanks,

-- Hannes

This happens because I naively thought 'git rev-parse --revs-only'

would only give me SHA1 IDs.  But in any case gitk (on the dev branch)

doesn't really do anything much to handle commit selection flags that

can't be turned into SHA1 IDs (possibly negated).


Thanks for testing.  I'll fix it.


Paul.

Windows command line does not handles the  ^ symbol.


Try open a console with cmd.exe and type


git log HEAD^
