Yea, see that's the stuff I mean when I say I dislike git's CLI, and 
would really like to fix with a front-end. A few years back, someone 
here compared it to driving a car by leaning under the hood pulling on 
various wires. I like that comparison. Git always did give off that 
kinda feel to me.

Somebody else pointed out gitless. At a quick glance, it looks like it 
has at least some potential. I'll have to take a closer look. Although I 
suspect I'll find a bunch of "oh, hmm, I'd have done that differently" 
just because...well, I tend to be like that ;)
