There is problem with git encouraging multiple branches and nonlinear history. While it would be fairly easy either to add Wiki-like (e.g. http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/ or http://en.wikipedia.org) radio-boxes to mark revisions to compare, or add pull down menu to select revision (useless with longer history) of a given file (we have diff-to-current in file history, by the way), the true power of selecting revisions to compare would be when we would have graphical history visualizer built in, similar to gitk and qgit. By the way, do you known any common Perl modules for generating PNG (graphs)? P.S.
