Is there some way to make `git-gui` rescan automatically when anything
in the repository changes? That would enable a more fluid workflow when
combined with other Git tools.
Use cases:
* "Dashboard" functionality to keep track of changes without having to
run `git status` all the time.
* `git` / `git-gui` introduction: See what happens live while working
with the other tool.

How about doing it each time git gui gets focus? Or if that's to
much do it only if it gets focus _and_ the index has changed?

Ideally (like in jEdit) this should be configurable. In Options ->
General of jEdit, there are the following settings:
"If open files are changed on disk", with options:
* do nothing
* prompt
* automatically reload and notify user
* autoreload without notification
"Check for file change upon", with options:
* application focus
* application focus, visiting the buffer or saving any buffer
* visiting the buffer or saving any buffer
* visiting or saving the buffer
* saving the buffer
Based on this, I guess we could use the following settings:
"When repository changes", with options:
* do nothing [This could optionally disable the next setting]
* prompt
* rescan and notify user
* rescan without notification
"Check for repository changes", with options:
* always [Could be implemented with something like `inotifywait -rm`]
* upon application focus
* upon staging, unstaging, committing or pushing
I think I can see use cases for all these options, although it might be
a bit much to chew for a first iteration.

Not to muddy the waters, but if you're open to alternatives, if you
have inotify installed, git cola will automatically update it's status
whenever files in your repository change.
