Commit Message

This makes gitk look for lines in the commit message which start with
"Link:" or "BugLink:" followed by a http or https URL, and make the
URL clickable.  Clicking on it will invoke an external web browser with
the URL.

The web browser command is by default "xdg-open" on Linux, "open" on
MacOS, and "cmd /c start" on Windows.  The command can be changed in
the preferences window, and it can include parameters as well as the
command name.  If it is set to the empty string then URLs will no
longer be made clickable.

FWIW, I personally hate those "Link:" that do not say what the links
are for (IOW, I am OK with "BugLink:" or even "Bug:").

In any case, I polled your repository but I did not find anything to
pull.  Do you want me to start my own gitk mirror, queue this patch
there and pull from it myself, or is this meant to be a preview of
what you'll tell me to pull in a few days?

Thanks.

Why just lines starting with "Link:" or "BugLink:"? Why not do it for 
all links?

Will it be a better idea to stop at the first whitespace character, 
instead of stopping at the end of the line?

I was expecting some comments and suggestions, so I didn't push it out
yet.  One suggestion which seems reasonable is to match any http or
https URL anywhere in the commit description, not just with Link: or
BugLink: at the start of the line.  What do you think of that?  It's
quite easy to do.  Also it should stop at whitespace rather than going
to the end of the line.

Paul.

Yup, that's a quite good suggestion, without little chance of false
positive these days, as we do not have to worry about anything but
http:// and https:// ;-)

In case I forgot to say in my previous message, it's been a while
since we heard from you the last time.  Welcome back ;)
