Mention gitk as example here ?

You meant here "git gui blame", didn't you?

Well, yes - that comes from the fact I only use the it from gitk :)

One-way from git to other SCM ?  I'm sure we care if many people do that :)

One way from SCM to git.

No, I was really suggesting to ask whether people work on a remote git repo
using another VCS, much like we do access other VCS' repo using git.  Not sure
whether this survey would reach those users, though.

+ sophisticated diffcore stages (eg. directory rename, indent detection,
  content move)

Thanks.

BTW. I think wholesame directory rename detection is one of proposed
features already.

d'oh - how could I miss it :)

What features should be mentioned besides those above?  What criteria
should we have for including features in this list?

Not sure if any reasonable idea that appeared on the list should be
left out.  Answers would provide feedback for features not necessarily
interesting to the average git <at> vger reader, but still appealing to our
users.

I don't think ideas about _internal_ changes need to be here.  Also,
I do not remember _every_ feature proposel that appeared on the list...

At some point[1] we had a volunteer secretary willing to take note of bugs.  I
just went to see whether proposed features were tracked as well, but it appears
that initiative has stalled already :(
