There's a question, that's been bugging me for quite a long time. Is it possible to make gitk show character-based diff instead of line-based one? I'm aware of git-diff's "--word-diff" option, but I would like to have the same functionality in GUI. That would make comprehending some diffs, that I usually encounter (like commented-out code, changed class/method names, etc), MUCH easier. Does gitk use git-diff machinery, and if so, is there a way to pass this option to it? Best regards, Alex Belykh.
