Hello,

I'm getting used to a GIT working environment, and part of that is the 
emacs mode.

I have a couple of nitpicks:

  - the "o" (open in other window, also available in 
cvs-mode/darcsum/bufferlist) doesn't work in git-status

  - it would be cool to have the return key function like in darcsum.

In darcsum, "enter" toggles showing of a diff of said file. When the 
diff is shown, the file is automatically marked for inclusion in the 
commit. Inside the diff, I can jump to the exact line with C-c.

In darcsum, I can select files for commit using only enter and arrow 
keys. In git-mode, I need the 'm', 'u', '=' keys.

(darcsum is at http://chneukirchen.org/repos/darcsum/ ; while Darcs does 
it have its issues, the Emacs mode is really very neat.)

  - When pressing 'c' for commit, the my cursor is at the "Author:" 
line. Moving to end of buffer  is just a single extra keystroke,  but 
it's completely superfluous and therefore: highly irritating keystroke.

I tried adding a (end-of-buffer) to the function definition, but it 
didn't work, and I'm not enough of an elisp guru to understand why it 
doesn't work.
