set the font size to 13.

I have an impression that hardcoding UI policy like this is
generally frowned upon.

But with that changes branch and the tag name looks neat.

May be down the  line we can add a prefernce tag that will allow the
user to change all these hardcoded values.

The point being that it only looks neat on your display, with
its size and resolution, and to your eye.

People have different tastes and equipments.  One thing I really
liked gitk (I do not know if gitview does this as well -- if so
I am happy) is I can do - and + to change the text size
depending on what display I am working on.

Point taken. Right now gitview doesn't support + and - key binding. I
will try to add that. For the time being can you can drop my font and
font size related  changes and apply rest of the patches.
