OK, played with it, looks nice. Some feedback:

Bug:? After unstaged a staged file it does not reappear under "unstaged". It appears nowhere.

Build: gitg can't run from the build dir, it needs to be installed. Reconfiguring with different --prefix does not rebuild (one needs to make clean manually).

Features: Displaying the subject after the parent shas etc would be nice. Maybe forward/back buttons for taking you forward/back in your *browsing history*? Say, you click on a parent, and then you want to get back. Can one stage hunks somehow?

Cheers, Michael
