I often run 'gitk --all'. It works great until I introduce Stacked
Git into the equation. StGit uses branches called branchname.stgit for
various metadata. The metadata turns into an ugly mess with gitk --all.
I've been playing around with various 'git log' options, but I'm not
finding one that gives me the gitk --all view as if StGit were never
attached to the repository. (Speaking of StGit and apps that store
metadata in branches... it would be awesome to have a filter that knocks
those branches out of ALL views of the data.)
Would someone mind helping me out?
Thanks.
Josh

It would be easier if StGit DTRT and stored its metadata in a stgit/
namespace. That way you could just do `gitk --branches=refs/heads/`.
There's (afaik) no way to specify what refs not to show, you'd need to
teach 'git rev-list' a way to ignore a ref space. You'd have to teach
it how to interpret something like `git rev-list --all --not
--branches=refs/heads/*.stgit`.

Sure, I agree StGit should the metadata in an stgit/ namespace.
In any case, it sounds like there is no way to pull this off right now. :(
Thanks for the help!

One thing I found was 'stg log --clear' (I'm running a newish version
direct from the stgit repo but I think it should be there in stgit
0.15). It gets rid of a lot (but not all) of the extra objects that
pollute the 'gitk --all' output.
One word of caution is that the Stack Git log has saved me from losing
work when I've done something bone headed so I tend to clear the log
only when I'm sure I've got everything I need committed upstream.
