Kay + Christian + Ken,
That looks really great!.

One suggestion: when drilling down through the tree it would be nice if the context of the parents could be dragged along too. So, for example, when displaying the BLOB, you could display its name because you have kept enough context around to allow that.

This would also allow you to extend the functionality so that when you are at the BLOB level you could navigate to a history of changes to just that BLOB, at least from the point of view of the commit that got you there.

Also, have you considered generating pure XML from the database and relying on XSLT (either at the server, or preferably at the client - they all do it well these days!) to do the HTML rendering?
