Oh, come on! You wanted git, you got it. Now learn to like it.

To view what changes are on branch "smtms-on-leaf/btxhalted" but not on 
master you can use "git log ..smtms-on-leaf/btxhalted". Notice the two 
dots. (I suspect this style of specification can be used for other 
purposes too.)

There are six commits on that branch. Five of them contain the changes 
that address the issue, the sixth one contains all the cosmetic changes. 
Because all the cosmetic changes are whitespace changes, telling git (or 
gitk) to ignore whitespace when producing diffs, would save you the trouble.

At the end, one tip from me: you can instruct gitk to show you a remote 
branch like that: "gitk john/coolbranch".
