Hello everyone,

I spent the last two days writing a text-based tree visualizer; gitk is really convenient, but unfortunately it needs an X display, tigs tree view left me unimpressed, and I actually wanted a tool that does not read all commits in like gitk/tig do, but just gives me the treeview.

Feedback is welcome.

thanks, Jan
