For what it's worth, GitX (OS X only) does both history viewing and
committing, and seems to be rapidly approaching the feature set of
gitk and git-gui combined. Unfortunately, I seem to inevitably hate
cross-platform GUI's---they never feel right or work slickly enough.
Sad, but true.

If GitX and this newer project could share a lot of code base, then
maybe their co-development would be accelerated and both would end up
being slick, native, full-fledged GUIs for git.
