't' worked fine but still can see how to diff do of the list of
changes for a file. Viewing diffs of files based on change sets
worked fine but I think with BitKeeper I found it helpful to be
able to do a full 'kompare' type diff the file only; often I'm
not interested in which change set it went into.
Something for a future version or am I lucky and you have
it covered already?

Good Idea, thought it's brought up a few questions:
1. When I do the <control-minis> to Decrease the font size
I can't undo it with the <control-plus>. Also <control-plus>
doesn't seem to do anything.
2. When displaying the "Lane info" why can't I see the
branch names?

I'll read it a few more times. I seem to sometimes get into a state
where I'm locked onto the current change set and can't get back to
the other change sets without starting another qgit.

Do you know if it's a lot of work to install Qt4?
