This patch adds -C (change working directory) parameter to gitk. With this parameter, instead of need to cd to directory with .git folder, one can point the correct folder from commandline.
Signed-off-by: Juha-Pekka Heikkila <[email protected]> --- v2: Adjusted the parameter as per Eric's suggestion. I think it now work in similar manner as in many GNU tools as well as git itself. v3: catch error from cd and other small refinement.
