Linus recently pointed out that the blame viewer in git-gui 0.7.2 is useless, and the one parked seemingly indefinately in my pu branch was much better, and couldn't do any worse than 0.7.2's.
So here's git-gui 0.7.3, available in my maint branch:
git://repo.or.cz/git-gui.git maint
for merging into the next public Git release.
Features since 0.7.2:
* New selection indication and softer colors. This change is due to the efforts of Matthijs Melchior, and makes the main interface window slightly more pleasing to read.
* Vastly improved internal blame viewer. The new viewer was incrementally improved, but in the end it amounted to a total rewrite by the time we reached the 0.7.3 release.
* Blame viewer now shows two blame passes side-by-side on the same file, giving the user fast access to original author and relocation author, for any line of the file.
* Mouse tooltips appear in the blame viewer when you mouse over a line of interest.
* Hyperlinks to original location are offered for both the original commit and the relocation commit in the blame viewer.
Bug fixes since 0.7.2:
* Allow creating a branch when none exists. Previously we crashed if the repository had no local branches, but had a valid HEAD.
* Better handle internal Tk destroy messages sent to widgets; we used to terminate the entire git-gui process when any widget was destroyed.
* Minor font corrections, where git-gui was not honoring the user's configured preferences.
