Hi,

when working on text files with long lines, "word diff" can produce appropriate diff display. However, the long lines cannot be viewed very well in gitk (requires excessive scrolling).

I found out that it is quite easy to achieve this

index 805a1c7..5ba7472 100755

gitk +0 -0
@@ -2404,7 +2404,7 @@ proc makewindow {} {

     set ctext .bleft.bottom.ctext
     text $ctext -background $bgcolor -foreground $fgcolor \
        -state disabled -font textfont \
-       -yscrollcommand scrolltext -wrap none \
+       -yscrollcommand scrolltext -wrap word \
        -xscrollcommand ".bleft.bottom.sbhorizontal set" if {$have_tk85} {
        $ctext conf -tabstyle wordprocessor

however I'm not otherwise knowledgeable about Tk to make this a properly configurable switch. I think it would be a very nice addition to have, a check box next to "Line diff/ color words" that says "Wrap words in display".

Thanks,
Nei
