   3 Features that should be explored.
   4
   5  - Repository status view.
   6
   7  - Add interface (somewhat like git-gui has) allowing a diff chunk to be
   8    staged/unstaged for the next commit.
   9
  10  - Better text-input support. From setsyx(3):
  11
  12         The setsyx routine sets the virtual screen cursor to y, x. If y
  13         and x are both -1, then leaveok is set. The two routines getsyx
  14         and setsyx are designed to be used by a library routine, which
  15         manipulates curses windows but does not want to change the
  16         current position of the program cursor. The library routine
  17         would call getsyx at the beginning, do its manipulation of its
  18         own windows, do a wnoutrefresh on its windows, call setsyx, and
  19         then call doupdate.
  20
  21  - When the user wants to "view" a commit, you could show from which
  22    branch heads and from which tags the commit is reachable, and perhaps
  23    which tag is the latest among the ones reachable from that commit, as
  24    part of the commit detail information you display on the lower pane
  25    (log/diff view).
  26
  27  - Use autoconf to check for iconv in libc and how it is declared (the
  28    2nd argument is 'const' on FreeBSD / Mac OS X). Maybe also check for
  29    the AsciiDoc and XmlTo document tools.
  30
  31  - The autoconf check could also be used to determine whether it is a
  32    newer git so that git-config will be used instead of git-repo-config.
  33
  34  - Use non-blocking I/O + select() for incremental loading of view
  35    input. (debian bug #427093)
