Looks very useful. Would it be possible to display the date (from the commit) instead of the 40-hex-char blobname (but have the link still point to the blob). Like this:

2005-04-27 [PATCH] USB: MODALIAS change for bcdDevice 2005-04-26 Merge with kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6.git/ 2005-04-26 Merge with kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/aoe-2.6.git/

That way you'd trade some screen space that is filled with hex numbers for some useful information. Dates could either be absolute (as in my example), or relative ("4 hours ago", "2 weeks ago", etc.)
