gittop 2026.08.2

Documentation. gittop itself is unchanged from 2026.08.1 — same binary, same behaviour — so there
is nothing here to upgrade for unless you want the README.

Added

• A demo GIF on the README, which is the thing a terminal application is hardest to describe in
  prose. It runs through all ten views, the / filter, the help overlay and a theme change.
• scripts/demo-repo.sh, which builds the repository the GIF is recorded against: six months of
  history over four branches, two merges, three stashes and a working tree with something in every
  column. It is checked in because a recording nobody can reproduce goes stale the first time the
  UI moves and there is no way to tell that it has. It touches no network — the upstream it pushes
  to is a bare repository beside it.

Changed

• The README described configuration as a file to edit. Most of it has been a settings page since
  2026.08.0, so the theme, glyph set, panel border, colour depth, animations, startup card and
  compact layout now say so, and the file is described as where they are saved rather than how you
  reach them. A custom palette and the tab set are still the file, and the README now says why.
• Dropped a phase table whose eight rows all read "Done", a note that listed every working feature
  before the section that lists every working feature, and two libgit2 function names that meant
  nothing to anyone deciding whether to install this. Open issues are the roadmap now.
• demo.tape recorded against whatever directory you ran it from and used a VHS theme name that no
  longer parses. It also predated the settings and sign-in views, so it never showed them.
