I think it can be an option, so you can have the "shell interface" or 
the "menu interface". But, I remember that we have already discussed 
about this. I don't think it's really difficult to do, so it could be 
nice to have it but the shell interface is enough for me.

I think an automatic refresh of the log viewer is useful, I have perhaps 
even request it. But in this case, you need to display the dialog 
without waiting the end of the refresh.

Yes I have seen it. Perhaps adding the dialog at the top of the git 
window will be better, I have miss the commit dialog at the beginning. 
Then, I think DnD is a quite natural to do things, I plan to use it more 
in the project manager, but it's a bit slow.

Sure, these are some personal comments and I have just started to use 
the new interface.

I'm really sorry for this issue. I'm a bit annoyed that we don't know 
exactly the root cause on the other hand I'm not sure it's useful that 
you spend a few additional days on it.
