Thanks, of course I neglected to mention tig.

What I think some here want is the ability to view
back and forth from old to new rather than just split
the window horizontally with the commit content.

Basically, apply the patch hunks for a specific range
to see color coded changes rather just show the entire
patch in a separate view.

Sure, seeing the commit log and patch is useful.

Seeing the block of code pre and post patch for the
specific section can be more useful.
