I find it easier to simply click on the line and then click the parent
in the lower window.  Which I'm only mentioning b.c. others might
not realize that it's possible.

The meta question is: anyone know of any gitk/git gui documentation
aside from Junio's excellent "Fun with msysgit 1.6.1 preview"
(http://gitster.livejournal.com/24080.html)?

Anything additional would be useful in my quest to get $dayjob to switch to git.
