Have it built locally. Noticed something here that I've seen in gedit
too, no doubt due to GtkSourceView. there is no automatic indentation,
i.e. hitting enter after a brace does not start a new indentation level,
etc.
Is there a roadmap for this, or is it intended to remain a demonstration
only?

I'm aware of gitg, and the integration could be quite interesting using
more modern widgets such as GtkListView.

It's been very helpful, I appreciate it :)
