The latest git-cola release v1.3.4 is available at the usual places:

git-cola homepage:
	http://cola.tuxfamily.org/

git-cola on github:
	git clone git://github.com/davvid/git-cola.git 
	http://github.com/davvid/git-cola/tree/master

git-cola is a powerful git gui written in Python. git-cola uses the PyQt4 gui toolkit and is supported on all platforms where git is available, including Windows/msysgit.

The latest versions of git-cola sport a fresh new interface and several new helpful dialogs. One of the newer git-cola dialogs is the 'Commit Comparison' dialog which allows you to compare arbitrary commits using standard merge tools (e.g. xxdiff).

git-cola uses a custom git command called git-difftool to drive the merge tools. This is useful if you'd like to use the functionality in your own scripts or from the command line. I will post the current version of git-difftool to the list for feedback and possible inclusion in the git contrib/ area since it is a generally useful utility.

See the online documentation for more information.
