How do I "unmark" a commit in gitk?

Question

I mis-click "mark this commit" in gitk.

I'm glad it happened, as I'd never looked at or thought about the features it is associated with. But now that I've seen them, I'd like them to go back to being greyed out.

So I want to "unmark" the commit?

How do I do that?

Answer 1

The option "mark this commit" (introduced 5 years ago) is only to allow the options:

• Return to mark
• Find descendent of this and mark
• Compare with marked commit

(As seen in this answer)

You cannot remove a mark without, as commented by gpullen, leaving the session.

The patch does mention:

There is at most one marked commit at any time, and it is indicated by a box drawn around the headline.
