"gitk --author=foo" shows also parent

Hi!

        $ gitk --author=foo

...seems to show also the parent of each author-matched commit, whereas

        $ git log --author=foo

does not. Is this intended or a bug? I've stumbled over this while configuring a gitk view with the author field.

I believe that this is intentional. Notice that the parent commit's circle is just outlined
compared to the selected authored commits are filled. I consider this the context
of the commits you are looking at.

Hmm, then I'm not interested in the context since it's too noisy. Is there any way to suppress this?
