By selecting a tag within gitk you can display information about it.
This information is output by using the command
'git cat-file tag <tagid>'
This outputs the *raw* information from the tag, amongst which is the
time - in seconds since the epoch. As useful as that value is, I find it
a lot easier to read and process time which it is something like:
"Mon Dec 31 14:26:11 2012 -0800"

The drop-down lists used for things like the criteria for finding
commits (containing/touching paths/etc.) use a combobox if we are
using the ttk widgets. By default the combobox exports its value
as the selection when it is changed, which is unnecessary, and sometimes
the combobox wouldn't release the selection, which is annoying.
To fix this, we make these comboboxes not export their selection,
and also clear their selection whenever they are changed. This makes
them more like a simple selection of alternatives, improving the look
and feel of gitk.

The Preferences dialog gives control of the colors of some elements of
the gitk user interface, but many are hard-coded in the gitk script.
In order to allow these to be customized through the gitk config
file, these other colors are stored in variables which can be set
in the config file, thus providing a way for color schemes to be stored
and shared.
For win32, this makes the default foreground color that of window text

When there are more than $maxrefs descendant heads to display in the
Branches field of the commit display, we currently just display "many",
which is not very informative. To make the display more informative,
we now look for "master" and whichever head is currently checked out,
and display them even if there are too many heads to display them all.

Sometimes the code that divides commits up into arcs creates two
successive arcs, but the commit between them (the commit at the end
of the first arc and the beginning of the second arc) has only one
parent and one child. If that commit is also the head of one or more
branches, those branches get omitted from the "Branches" field in the
commit display.
The omission occurs because the commit gets erroneously identified as
a commit which is part-way along an arc in [descheads]. This fixes it
by changing the test to look at the arcouts array, which only contains
elements for the commits at the start or end of an arc.

When configured not to use themed widgets gitk may crash on launch with
a message that says that the image "bm-left disabled bm-left-gray"
doesn't exist. This happens when the left and right arrow buttons are
created.
The crash can be avoided by configuring the buttons differently
depending on whether or not themed widgets are used. If themed widgets
are not used then only set the images to bm-left and bm-right
respectively, and keep the old behavior when themed widgets are used.
The previous behaviour was added in f062e50f to work around a bug in Tk
on OS X where the disabled state did not display properly. The buttons
may still not display correctly, however the workaround added in
f062e50f will still apply if gitk is used with themed widgets.

On Mac, the back and forward buttons show an empty rectange instead of
a grayed-out arrow when they are disabled. The reason is a Tk bug on Mac
that causes disabled images not to draw correctly (not to draw at all,
that is); see
<https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/comp.lang.tcl/V-nW1JBq0eU>.
To work around this, we explicitly provide gray images for the disabled
state; I think this looks better than the default stipple effect that you
get on Windows as well, but that may be a matter of taste.

Whenever the diff pane scrolls, highlight the corresponding file in the
file list on the right. For a large commit with many files and long
per-file diffs, this makes it easier to keep track of what you're looking
at.
This allows simplifying the prevfile and nextfile functions, because
all they have to do is scroll the diff pane.
In some situations we want to suppress this mechanism, for example when
clicking on a file in the file list to select it, or when searching in the
diff, in which case we want to highlight based on the current search hit
and not the top line visible. In these cases it's not sufficient to set
a "suppress" flag before scrolling and reset it afterwards, because the
scrolltext notification is sent deferred from a timer or some such; so we
need to remember the scroll position for which we want to suppress the
auto-highlighting until the next call to scrolltext; a bit ugly, but does
the job.

Sometimes one wants to see the different between two commits that are
a long distance apart in the graph display. This is difficult to do
with the "Diff this -> selected" and "Diff selected -> this" menu
items because the need to maintain the selection means that one can't
use the find facilities or the reference list window to navigate from
one to the other.
This provides an alternative using the mark. Having found one commit,
one marks it with the "Mark this commit" menu item, then navigates to
the other commit and uses the new "Diff this -> marked commit" and/or
"Diff marked commit -> this" menu items.

noticeable time (several seconds) for gitk to resolve short SHA1 IDs

The following only concerns systems using X and the client-side font
rendering framework from freedesktop.org. Windows and Mac OS X are
not affected.
Starting with version 8.5, Tk uses freetype and fontconfig by default
to render fonts on platforms that support it. Gitk currently defaults
to the font Helvetica for the interface and Courier for diffs, and
both unfortunately look rather bad on screen in the default
configuration on many Linux distros with anti-aliasing and poor
hinting.
It is better to default to "sans" and "monospace", which are mapped by
fontconfig to some appropriate font of the sysadmin and user's
choosing (typically Bitstream Vera Sans and Mono). The result looks
more sensible and it makes gitk feel like a well-behaved software
citizen since its fonts match other native apps.
This patch does not change the appearance of gitk for users that have
already run it, since gitk uses the remembered UI and diff font names
from ~/.gitk.

Automake's contribution guidelines suggest using "git describe" output
in commit logs to reference previous commits. By contrast, in
coreutils, I had acquired the habit of using a bare SHA1 prefix (8 hex
digits), since gitk creates clickable links for that, and not for "git
describe" output.
I prefer the readability of the full "git describe" output, yet want
to retain the gitk links, so this renders as clickable not just
SHA1-like strings, but also an SHA1-like string that is prefixed by
"-g".

Launching 'gitk -- .' or 'gitk -- ..\t' restricts the display to files
under the given directory but the file list is left empty. This is because
the path_filter function fails to match the filenames which are relative
to the working tree to the filter which is filessytem relative.
This solves the problem by making both names fully qualified filesystem
paths before performing the comparison.

When commit 6e2dda35 (Add new keybindings, 2005-09-22) added vi-style
keybindings to gitk (an excellent idea!), instead of adopting the
usual "hjkl = left, down, up, right" bindings used by less, vi, rogue,
and many other programs, it used "ijkl = up, left, down, right" to
mimic the inverted-T formation of the arrow keys on a qwerty keyboard,
in the style of Lode runner. So using 'j' and 'k' to scroll through
commits produces utterly confusing results to the vi user, as 'k'
moves down and 'j' moves to the previous commit.
Luckily most non-vi-users are probably using an alternate set of keys
(cursor keys or z/x + n/p) anyway. Switch to the expected vi/nethack
convention.

Gitk can search for commits touching a specified path. The search text is
always treated as a regular expression, regardless of the matching option
selected (Exact, IgnCase, or Regexp). In particular, backslashes escape
the next character. This is inconvenient on Windows systems, where backslashes
are the norm for path specifiers, for example when copy/pasting from
Windows Explorer or a cmd shell -- these copy-pasted paths must be manually
modified in the gitk search text edit box before they will work.
This change uses the match option "Exact" to mean that a slash is a slash,
not part of a regular expression. Backslashes are converted to frontslashes
before searching, thus allowing easy copy/pasting of paths on Windows
systems. If the previous behaviour of "touching paths" search is desired,
simply select the "Regexp" search mode.
One potential drawback is that the default setting for the match option
($findtype in the code) is "Exact", and so this change alters the default
behaviour, which may confuse users and lead to bug reports.

Since 5024baa ([PATCH] Make gitk work when launched in a subdirectory,
2007-01-09), gitk has used 'git rev-parse --git-dir' to find the .git
directory. However, gitk still first checks for the $GIT_DIR
environment variable and that the value returned from git-rev-parse
does not point to a file. Since git-rev-parse does both of these
checks already, the checks can safely be removed from gitk. This makes
the gitdir procedure small enough to inline.
This cleanup introduces a UI regression in that the error message will
now be "Cannot find a git repository here." even in the case where
GIT_DIR points to a file, for which the error message was previously
"Cannot find the git directory \"%s\".". It should be noted, though,
that even before this patch, 'gitk --git-dir=path/to/some/file' would
give the former error message.
