git-gui blametool

git-gui blametool

[Aneesh Kumar K.V]

Hi All,

I found the git-gui blame tool interface quiet confusing with the all 
those color code. What does the color code actually mean ? A simple 
interface would be

[ commit ] [ line number ] [ code ]

....
...
--------------------------------------
commit details of the selected commit

Sine i don't have a tcl/tk reference around i update blameview to show 
the above. The patch is attached below in case you are interested.

window to be a bit larger. Any help ?

It certainly looks better, though the whole thing is still horribly
ugly. You might play with replacing the main List widget with something
a bit more compact.

Something like this?

Can you try the version of git-gui that Junio pushed out to `master`
last night?

Because it uses this interface.  Almost.  It doesn't show the
[commit] column.

I tried the same one. I was requesting to add the commit column. Right
now the interface is pretty confusing. After some reading of the code
i figured out that colours have a specific meaning. May be we need to
add a manual to the same.

but any how having commit in a column like this is really nice. I just
sent a new patch for blameview. That should give an idea how much the
interface looks better.

Ahhh.  I was thinking of adding it myself anyway.  Now that two
people think showing a commit column might be a good idea, I'll
add it in.
