Nice. I don't think this would break anything. By the way, this would
I think also make Emacs (emerge) choose correct major mode for syntax
highlighting etc., so it is not only for Meld...

By the way, is there some helper plumbing scripts can use to check
attributes for given file (given pathname), either in working area, or
in repository (I am thinking there to use gitattributes for
configuring syntax highlighting (extension to syntax) in gitweb);
perhaps even in the index.

By the way, beside "git view" alias (with configurable backend, be it
gitk, qgit, giggle or gitview) it would be nice to have "git unstash"
as an alias to "git stash apply" (it would not matter here that
command think of itself as 'git stash' here).

We would have to change the paragraph in INSTALL about git wrapper
(which would be no longer optional, or at least no longer optional in
the sense that you can just delete/not install this file), and its
conflict with (old) GNU Interactive Tools (the other 'git').

That would be nice to have, although as somebody[*1*] said, you usualy
know that you should have pushed branch into stack when you want to
'pop'. So it would be nice to have (if possible and easy to implement)
also "git checkout --previous" or "git checkout -".

Robin Rosenberg wrote about nice hack to implement "cd -" like
behavior:

What is the status of this thingy, by the way?
