I have uploaded a screenshot now, it is available at http://www.cyd.liu.se/~freku045/gct/

I haven't used cg-commit, but from a quick reading of the code it seems that the functionality is similar to Gct. You do see the diffs in Gct but it is currently not possible to do a more fine grained selection of what to commit (that is, finer than selecting which files to commit). Selection of individual hunks is on the todo list though.
