This is definitely a great update and it's getting close, but for me this still can't replace gitx. I absolutely need something that can show a tree-view version of the repo branches. Even the CLI can do this. The web UI has the network graph view which is ok but not great since it doesn't really show branching.

It's so tempting to use a list-view because it looks nice and simple, is easy to implement and it hides complexity. The problem is that I need a view into that complexity to use git. The git model is a tree (or graph even) and to not display it that way just makes things harder.

I think what gitx has is still the best.
