One thing I sorely lack in qgit as compared to gitk (and even gitweb[*1*]) is marking commits with refs (heads and tags, marked with different colors or different shape marker). gitk currently uses markers in short log line before text of commit summary, gitweb uses markers after (at the end) of commit log summary. In qgit head commits are marked as such, but not to which branche they belong[*2*].

And also somewhat (but to much lesser extent) showing explicitely sha1-ids for commit, parents, tree, referenced object (in tag), to copy'n'paste to shell.

[*1*] Currently _only_ in summary view IIRC, see e.g. http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=git/git.git;a=summary [*2*] gitk has also somewhat expensive "branches that commit belongs to" and "closest tag(s) that are in lineage of this commit".

Currently you have to select the head and the status bar will show related information: branch, tag message, etc.

Something as a typical browser "copy selected link" context menu entry?

That is step in right direction, but still when viewing history as a whole I'd like to know which branch is which. Head refs are marked, so it shouldn't be much work (well, perhaps some on the GUI side) to add, as an option, head name somewhere (before or after, or even somwehere else) along commit "subject".

Yes, "copy sha1 of selected link" would be nice.
