Whichever was the latest when I wrote the message. I see you have added a handful commits on it since then.

Maybe I am misusing it then.

"full-screen" diff view and being able to do [UP] and [DOWN] to move around there do not feel useful to me that much. It is something "git log -p" does already, thanks to its output paged via "less" by default.

I like viewing the list in the upper and diff/log in the lower at the same time, and that is the primary reason I liked tig, so moving around in the commit list view and not seeing the diff/log updated in sync was major dissapointment at least for me.
