Sorry for the slow response. Some quick impressions: - The 0.5 second delay is noticeable but not terrible. The instantaneous response from the older point-entered based code was kind of nice --- too bad it has to go. - There is no obvious way to copy the (abbreviated or full) hash associated to the current line to the clipboard (for pasting in another terminal). People more familiar with emacs might want "git show" output in another buffer when the line is double-clicked or something. :) That would work for me, too (since I could copy the hash from there). - A nice brief oneline format is [%h] %a: %s which goes well with a git-blame-prefix-format of %t - The time format (%c) is rather verbose. I think I prefer %D (so maybe this is a potential tweakable?). - email addresses are often longer than 20 characters. Does format-spec provide a way to truncate to a certain length, so the prefixes can line up? - in general, I like it. Thanks.
