Which may be ok when you're writing a paper and want space to add your 
scribbles and underlining etc, but not when you're looking at the screen, 
and it just means that there's *less* space for commentary).

Yes, I spent quite a bit of time trying to correct this, but it seems to
be an artifact of the GtkTreeView widget (which maybe I am abusing, but
it seems like the right thing conceptually). As the vertical spacing is
a "style" attribute, I'm not as a developer allowed to change it. You
can try this, which helps a bit (the default is '2'); put it before any
widgets are created:

Gtk2::Rc->parse_string(<<'EOS');
style "treeview_style"
{
  GtkTreeView::vertical-separator = 0
}
class "GtkTreeView" style "treeview_style"
EOS

But it's still pretty ugly. I'm not inclined to hack on it much more --
IMHO, a nice curses interface like tig would be much more sensible.

Yeah. It needs the logic to coalesce consecutive file-name/line-nr 
entries, but even after you add a "-C" to the arguments (which really 
makes 'git-blame' quite a bit more expensive), it doesn't feel "slow". 

Yes, it would ideally color the blobs (try adding
$fileview->set_rules_hint(1) to get alternating line colors!). But I
don't think I can do anything that magical with their widget, which
means I get to write my own widget. Bleh.

Just ugly ;)

:)

Here's my "final" version that looks up the committer name. It also
takes blame output on the command line:
  git-blame --incremental -C file | perl foo.pl file
I won't be working on it anymore, but if somebody wants to see an
example of some really ugly perl/gtk code, here it is.
