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