Hi,

git-gui(1) says:

browser
    Start a tree browser showing all files in the specified commit
    (or HEAD by default).

However, if I try to run it with just "git gui browser", it doesn't start (Cygwin, 1.6.1) or says "usage: /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-gui browser rev? path" (Linux, 1.6.1.28.gc32f76) -- I have to say "git gui browser HEAD".
