OK, played with it, looks nice. Some feedback:

Bug:?
After unstaged a staged file it does not reappear under "unstaged". It
appears nowhere.

Build:
gitg can't run from the build dir, it needs to be installed.
Reconfiguring with different --prefix does not rebuild (one needs to
make clean manually).

Features:
Displaying the subject after the parent shas etc would be nice.
Maybe forward/back buttons for taking you forward/back in your *browsing
history*? Say, you click on a parent, and then you want to get back.
Can one stage hunks somehow?

Cheers,
Michael
