Looks very useful.  Would it be possible to display the date (from the
commit) instead of
the 40-hex-char blobname (but have the link still point to the blob). 
Like this:

2005-04-27 [PATCH] USB: MODALIAS change for bcdDevice
2005-04-26 Merge with
kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6.git/
2005-04-26 Merge with kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/aoe-2.6.git/

That way you'd trade some screen space that is filled with hex numbers for some
useful information.  Dates could either be absolute (as in my
example), or relative
("4 hours ago", "2 weeks ago", etc.)
