This adds a useful "Parent:" line to the git commit information window.
It looks something like this (from the infamous octopus merge):

Octopus merge of the following five patches.
Update git-apply-patch-script for symbolic links.
Make git-prune-script executable again.
Do not write out new index if nothing has changed.
diff-cache shows differences for unmerged paths without --cache.
Update diff engine for symlinks stored in the cache.

where all the parent commit ID's are clickable, because the new lines are
added as part of the "comment" string, and thus the regular clickability
thing will match them automatically.
This new functionality is great except when it truncates the commit
description needlessly.
When running gitk full-screen on a large display, I have a commit
information window that is much wider than needed for the truncated
parent information. Leaving me with a lot of whitespace that should be
used for the commit descriptions.
On a related nit: some of the diffs I'm viewing have lines longer than
the width of the commit information window and it's annoying that gitk
wraps the line rather than providing horizontal scrolling.
How about implementing horizontal scrolling in the commit information
window when the commit text or the diffs are wider than the window and
not truncating the commit descriptions?
