This is really great to have, thanks a lot for making this happen! (I'm 
really looking forward to not getting Ddox related e-mail before each 
release ;) But especially the preview feature should be really useful 
for doing visual reviews.

Have you thought about using dlibgit [1] instead? Well, I guess that 
because a separate thread is necessary to not block the event loop, the 
performance benefit wouldn't really be a compelling argument... but at 
least it should be more convenient to use.
