Once loaded, the GUI is usable on a DSL connection, but the problem is that gitk loads the whole commit history, not only the commits that will fit on screen. It can take up to a minute with our repository for the GUI to be ready, especially when visualizing all branches. I thought I'd let you know, in the case there is the possibility to have some sort of progressive loading in the future. Compared to gitk, git-gui works fine in this environment. NOTE: I discovered tig today on this very mailing-list, and I admit it's fulfilling part of our usecase, but maybe there are some people in my team that are reluctant to text-based interfaces, who knows.
