It keeps the history of all the patch modifications (like refresh,
push) so that you can get previous versions if something went wrong.
It's like having many small commits reflecting the changes to a patch.
These commits are totally separate from the main patch commit (so that
an StGIT repository is still compatible with GIT) but you can access
them with "stg log [--graphical] <patch>". The --graphical option will
automatically invoke gitk.
