[ANNOUNCE] tig-0.17

[Jonas Fonseca]

Hello,

Here's an updated tig, which fixes an incompatibility with ncurses 2.8.
I also decided to merge my side project to rewrite the revision graph
renderer. It's far from finished but nice and colorful in its current
shape, and should be more hackable too.

What is tig?
------------
Tig is an ncurses-based text-mode interface for git. It functions mainly
as a git repository browser, but can also assist in staging changes for
commit at chunk level and act as a pager for output from various git
commands.

   revision graph rendering by default.
