So, I took a stab at this earlier today, and it is fairly straight forward. I have
something that is semi working (I haven't tested all the scenarios yet), but
the rest is just really filling in the blanks.
Question though: I was going to have a index tree on a side panel...but do
you want this thing to only bring up the git-gui.txt file, and show the table
of contents, or do you want all *.txt files in the index? Or .... ?
Thanks,
