Heh, Shawn and I were discussing this when we met in San Jose earlier this month. The application we had in mind was a common backend for graphical representation of the commit graph, which could be used by git gui to show (part of) the history. The ultimate goal was a graphical rebase -i. I would have _loved_ to implement this. Alas, as it appears my choice of job was less than brilliant, and even when I have some spare moments at the end of the day, I watch movies to forget the day, instead of implementing this fascinating and useful feature.
