Then I have another question: Did you ever thought of a branch view, where
you can see, create, delete and merge the different branches which are in a
git project.

I have thought about it. The question is if a separate view is
necessary or if the main view would do. For example, I sometimes use
gitk when I need to rename branches or prepare for rebasing a
patchset. One idea I would like to explore is to provide a compressed
version of the main view, where "intermediate" commits are hidden,
this way you could easily get a view of the relationship between
branches.

The simplest thing to make it easier to experiment with new features
would probably be to introduce a new external command specifier:
%(prompt:<msg>), possibly with some regex for validation. Then you
could add in your ~/.tigrc:

bind main A !git branch %(prompt:^wip/[a-z-]+$:Name) %(commit)
