Yeah, i was thinking more along the lines of the way cogito handles commit message editing for example, where you can change which files are committed by editing the file list in place. Maybe the colorized git log viewer would be worth pulling into core as well, etc. It's been a long time since i've looked at cogito but perhaps there are other things in it that have proven useful and deserve to be pushed into core. I guess my original comment was made because I always cringe when i see git described as "plumbing" and only having porcelain-"ish" commands included. Sean
