I tried the same one. I was requesting to add the commit column. Right now the interface is pretty confusing. After some reading of the code i figured out that colours have a specific meaning. May be we need to add a manual to the same.

but any how having commit in a column like this is really nice. I just sent a new patch for blameview. That should give an idea how much the interface looks better.
