Hi all,

  this is a fix release, mainly to accomodate the new 'A' flag instead of 'N'
 in git-diff-tree format.

Some little new stuff too, complete changelog below:

- added move back/forward in selection history

- added "hyperlinks" SHA1's in commit messages

- fix cursor position in in commit messages when changing rev

- use GIT_DIR when available to fetch refs

- accomodate new git-diff-tree 'A' insted of 'N' flag format

- added save/restore of diff and file window's geometry


First two ideas, that I read today from the list,
 are very cool, were fun to implement ;-).

Ok, this is nicer than gitk, with the parents showing up in the commit
message and thus easy to go to. You might add children too: it's not
something git itself knows about intrisically, but since you've already 
built the graph, at least you see what children are part of that graph..

Oh, and do people really care _that_ much when the change happened? That's 
a lot of screen real estate wasted on the date stamp of "last change". At 
least I can drag it to the right and hide it that way..

A couple of quick comments:

 - Any chance of having a git archive of qgit? I realize that sourceforge 
   doesn't have git archives, but (a) maybe you can ask and (b) maybe 
   there are alternate places you could put it. It's just sad having to 
   download tar-balls.

 - The qgit graph is not as pretty as the gitk one. Any chance of making 
   the bullets a bit smaller, and having an option to not do the
   "jump-over-bumps"?

 - the "file annotation" window is nice, but it _really_ shouldn't do line
   wrapping. If you make the window narrower, you'll see it wrap and look 
   horrible.. Are all text windows always wrapped in QT?

 - You edit the commit comments heavily, and have no options to unedit. 
   For example, I need the emails in the sign-offs if I ever cut-and-paste 
   to an email client when I sent a "hey, this commit broke so-and-so.."

 - the "format a patch to be sent as email" thing says "at least two 
   revisions needed" when you only have one. Why? One of my more common 
   cases is that I send one commit as a patch, and now I do

	git-diff-tree -p --pretty [commit-id] > ~/diff

   and then just send that. A single commit _does_ describe a valid patch, 
   after all.

No biggie,

		Linus

I fixed that here by manually dragging the "date" column to the left.

That had the bonus effect of moving the graph away from the edge of the
window, so it was easier to see the left-most line.

You can also just resize the column if it bugs you.  (Though I think
swapping the default order of the two columns is probably worthwhile
anyway.)
