I like this a lot! Thanks for putting it together. I think it's worth
releasing this as-is.
My only wish is that it be generalized for any kind of ref: Each refs/*
namespace should form a distinct display category. For example, given refs
like this (note the non-standard "builds" namespace):
refs/heads/maint
refs/heads/master
refs/heads/next
refs/remotes/origin/maint
refs/remotes/origin/master
refs/remotes/origin/next
refs/remotes/origin/pu
refs/tags/v1.1.1
refs/tags/v2.2.2
refs/tags/v3.3.3
refs/tags/v4.4.4
refs/builds/1.1.1-1
refs/builds/1.1.1-2
refs/builds/1.1.1-3
refs/builds/1.1.1-4
refs/builds/1.1.1-5
And let's say that somehow all these refs refer to the same commit that's
being displayed in gitk, then I'd like to see something like:
[3 branches...][4 remote refs...][4 tags...][5 builds...]
Gitk can be smart about how it displays standard namespaces (as it already is
for tags, heads, remote heads, etc.), but for non-standard namespaces gitk
can just display the namespace's name directly.
