Shawn, could you please push it out somewhere else than just "pu", and convince Junio to merge it? Right now, "git gui blame" is almost useless in the standard git tree, and maybe the new one has some bugs, but it's at least _useful_ (and about a million times prettier than it used to be), so I don't think you can possibly regress in this area.

That said, I do have one comment about the state of git-gui "pu".. I think it's fairly pretty, and definitely useful, but one feature I end up really wishing for is a "search" button (or Ctrl-F). I might not know what line-number I'm looking for, I'm more likely to know which function I want to look at, and the most natural way to find it is with a simple ctrl-F.

Maybe it exists, but if so, I didn't find it.

But the old git-gui blame viewer didn't have that either, so this shouldn't hold up getting a useable git-gui into the standard git distro..
