Hello,

I'm getting used to a GIT working environment, and part of that is the emacs mode.

I have a couple of nitpicks:

 - the "o" (open in other window, also available in cvs-mode/darcsum/bufferlist) doesn't work in git-status

 - it would be cool to have the return key function like in darcsum.

In darcsum, "enter" toggles showing of a diff of said file. When the diff is shown, the file is automatically marked for inclusion in the commit. Inside the diff, I can jump to the exact line with C-c.

In darcsum, I can select files for commit using only enter and arrow keys. In git-mode, I need the 'm', 'u', '=' keys.

(darcsum is at http://chneukirchen.org/repos/darcsum/ ; while Darcs does it have its issues, the Emacs mode is really very neat.)

 - When pressing 'c' for commit, the my cursor is at the "Author:" line. Moving to end of buffer  is just a single extra keystroke,  but it's completely superfluous and therefore: highly irritating keystroke.

I tried adding a (end-of-buffer) to the function definition, but it didn't work, and I'm not enough of an elisp guru to understand why it doesn't work.
