So who is right? I think it was before rc1. 

Anyway I'm aware that there are other git commands, although for the option
details I often have to have a look at the man page.

However in this case the main reason to fire gitk was to have a quick look 
at the patch and its context, and simply reported the "Precedes" line 
in the display, which is 2.6.39-rc1. It also follow v2.6.37-rc2, which means
that it has been quite a long time outside the main tree.
