The one thing I like about gitk over this though is that with gitk
you don't have to click a button to see the diff.
For casual history browsing, it's much nicer to just scroll the bottom
window. Making it pop up a new window for each diff is just irritating.

I always browse the repository looking at the commit message and only
if interested i look at the changes.  That's why i made it look that
way.

with gitview  (attached) I have added an option --with-diff. That will
add the diff details. Now I would like somebody with good git
knowledge to review the different  commands that i am using to get
information out of git  For example with --with-diff option i am
getting the complete diff by

for parent_id in  parent_sha1 parent_sha2 parent_sha3 .......
commit_diff = commit_diff + git diff tree -p parent_id commit_sha1

is this the correct way ?
