Hello Dmitry, gitg users! I became aware of the complete rewrite and UI regressions only with the update of my Ubuntu boxes. It's amazing how far away from my daily needs this previously useful application has been pushed by the gnome mindset (or whatever). I assume I am not the only one who cannot stand the new interface... I deem the 3.x version a fork. It feels like Gnome 2 -> 3 all over again - just smaller :(
Obviously I have not followed the development of gitg but I have been using it for over 5 years almost daily (at work and home). I do understand that the old 0.x branches wont be maintained by anybody in the future and that 3.x is already lurking in experimental. I am also quite aware that maintaining it with updated (gnome) libraries etc. would require quite some effort - at least in the beginning. I won't be able to dedicate enough time to do that on my own (and probably lack some gtk/glib experience as well) but I am willing to join any group working on this in case anybody is interested... I could not find any existing public efforts in this regard. Dmitry, I refrained from opening another bug report to spare you from having to close it as non-sense... no idea how such things should be handled properly due to their subjective nature so I just appended it to the best matching existing bug to make the above public. -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner
