@MDW:
good to hear, I also like DOpus (use it on Windows but also with mc key setting) but mostly I use Midnight commander on Linux and so more used to this console style

merging: maybe... atm. I do not have any motivation to code something for Amiga-likes, so maybe not in the near future, but it is open source... if someone else want to do it

btw. for long git logs I produced also my own tool MoGit it's only very crude and simple but for me enough to work with it, maybe you want take a look

Have fun!
