Subject: [PATCH] gitk: Handle blobs containing a DOS end-of-file marker.

From: Pat Thoyts <[email-masked]>
Date: 16 Mar 2009 10:24:40 +0000

If a patchset contains an EOF marker (Ctrl-Z) the blob diff terminates
  at that point. This patch permits gitk to ignore the eof and continue to
  display any subsequent blobs and also displays a sensible representation
  of the eof char.
