ugit, the pyqt-based git gui, has been taking shape as of late.

First off, I'd like to thank everyone that replied with suggestions
and criticism.  This list is extremely helpful with regards to
providing honest software critiques.

New features since the last announcement (almost all of which were
mentioned in one way or another on this list):

* inotify support (we've removed the "Rescan" button)
* Patch hunk un/staging
* Allows un/staging selected patch hunk lines (without --unidiff-zero)
* Prepped for i18n ("env LANG=ja_JP ugit" looks pretty cool now)
* I'm a westerner, so the unstaged list is now on the left and the
staged list is on the right (thanks Jason)
* Optimizations to improve the interactivity of the patch browser
* Misc. fixes for MacOS and Windows (thanks Steffan and Sebastian)
* Uses default system colors whenever possible [no more darkness] (thanks Alex)
* No longer requires PYTHONPATH

Source code (requires pyqt4-dev-tools to build):
http://repo.or.cz/w/ugit.git

Tarballs (require a stock pyqt-4.3 installation):
http://ugit.justroots.com/

I'll try and get some .deb, .rpm, etc. action happening soon.

p.s.
If you read ugit as "(f)uh-git" or "ugly-git", then that's good since
I think that falls in line with the git style ;-)
