Log Buffer

• Checkout commit
• revert commit (Log Buffer #22 (comment))
• improve visual representation of log (Log Buffer #22 (comment))

I would like for the log buffer to re-apper after i've finished looking at a specific commit (I think magit works this way too).

So I would type L, find a commit, type Enter, type q when I'm done, and I'd be shown the log buffer again.

@asymmetric how about adding a seperate keybinding for that? Something like Shift+Enter or Control+Enter?

I have been thinking about introducing something similiar to hooks in magit for neogit, which would make something like this easy to introduce in user config.

Would be cool to have a map to revert a commit from the list! Flow would be something like:

L -> l -> move cursor to commit -> r or R etc -> results in git revert <selected-commit>

Hello!, great plugin.

At the moment during log exploration (L->b or any other option), commits of one a feature branch and commits that occurred on the main branch appear to be at the same level.

In neogit:

Using git log --oneline --decorate --graph --all:

Is there a way of showing them separated currently and I'm just missing an option?

Also, it would be a great addition if the log buffer showed branch locations!

@TimUntersberger I'd say that incurs more of a cognitive load than thinking of it as "navigating through a stack". In the stack metaphor, it just makes sense that q pops, so you'd have to type it a couple times to get back to where you want to be.

I would rather have a special keybinding to pop everything from the stack - that would actually be quite useful :)

I would like to filter logs affecting only one file, something like git log src/foo.c.
