    You need to synchronize your git repo with crater/master to reduce
    the size of the patch set.

    The diff set also contains a huge number of cosmetic changes.  I
    would much rather just have the changes that address the issues
    and not have to wade through all the cosmetic changes to find them.

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".
