Hi Pavel,

  it's ok for me to use your icon, I don't know if a 16x16 it's
enough, there is the window title but also application tool bar and
ALT+TAB application chooser where icons are bigger.

In particular your icon does not show well in ALT+TAB app chooser, while the Bernhard's one does.

I would like to post a new release very soon, now that git-1.5 is out, to fix a bug due to a change of git-rev-list output format in case of i18n encoding info in git 1.5 that makes log titles in main view list completly disappear!! under some cases.

This bug triggers only with git-1.5 and above so I really need to push a point release.

Thanks Marco
