Interesting idea. I tried it, but I don't like it much, it just looks and feels so odd. I can send a patch if you're interested in trying it yourself. But personally, I really only need the synchronization feature in the case where a file's diff is longer than fits on a screen; as long as a file header is visible on the left side, it's prominent enough that I don't need more guidance. -Stefan -- Stefan Haller Berlin, Germany http://www.haller-berlin.de/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
