+Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Provide for config to specify tags not to abbreviate
+
+Hi.
+
+Please find in the following mails patches which provide a way to make
+gitk display certain tags in full, even if they would normally be
+abbreviated.
+
+There are four patches to gitk, three to prepare the ground, and one
+to introduce the new feature.
+
+There is one patch for git, to just document the new config variable.
+
+I hope this is the right way to submit this series.
+
+
+As I say in the patch "gitk: Provide for config to specify tags not to
+abbreviate":
+
+The config setting is in git config logs.* rather than gitk's
+own configuration, because:
+
+ - Tools which manage git trees may want to set this, depending
+   on their knowledge of the nature of the tags likely to be
+   present;
+
+ - Whether this property ought to be set is mostly a property of the
+   contents of the tag namespaces in the tree, not a user preference.
+   (Although of course user preferences are supported.)
+
+ - Other git utilities (or out of tree utilities) may want to
+   reference this setting for their own display purposes.
+
+There will be another, separate, patch to the `git' tree to document
+this config option.
+
+Background motivation:
+
+Debian's dgit archive gateway tool generates and uses tags called
+archive/debian/VERSION.  If such a tag refers to a Debian source tree,
+it is probably very interesting because it refers to a version
+actually uploaded to Debian by the Debian package maintainer.
+
+We would therefore like a way to specify that such tags should be
+displayed in full.  dgit will be able to set an appropriate config
+setting in the trees it deals with.
+
