Subject: Re: [PATCH] gitk: Added option 'Simple history' to the options menu

Hi Junio,

some days ago I supplied a patch that adds the 
'--simplify-by-decoration' switch to gitk's options menu. This was 
inspired by Jakub Narebski's answer to 'How to restrict gitk to show 
only branch/merge commits?'.

Have you just missed it or didn't it qualify for inclusion? I didn't 
know that option and found it really helpful to get an overview about 
the history of my projects.

What do the others think?

Cheers,
     Dirk
