Subject: gitk: Check git version before using --textconv flag
X-Git-Url: https://privyetmir.co.uk/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a8138733fcf4d9c175b53ab0d0f06a3f7c232286;p=gitk

gitk: Check git version before using --textconv flag

Commit 785b7535 ("gitk: use --textconv to generate diff text")
added the --textconv flag to the git diff commands used to
display commit diffs.  Since some people use newer gitk with older
git installations, this adds a check on the git version to check
that it understands --textconv before using it.
