re visualization: e.g. an even better git annotate, that supports going back 
in time, if e.g. you annotate a file and one line is affected by some 
uninteresting patch, show also the previous commit(s) - if that is even 
possible... otherwise via git annotate badcommit^ or similar...

so yeah I think there would be lots of interesting stuff here. Aleix, want to 
add that as a gsoc idea to the wiki?
