Hi,

I'm one of the authors of the tool.

Well, I regularly use `git log --oneline --graph --decorate --all` for
viewing the history. `git log` does show the refs and messages if the
`--all` parameter is supplied, so I see issue messages. The most
annoying thing imo are the long references which are printed due to the
`--decorate` parameter. Maybe I'll use `--decorate=short` or something
in the future.

I presume graphical tools will most probably abbreviate long
reference-names, or show only branches. But I don't have much experience
using GUI tools for git.

Matthias regularly uses `tig`, which is a curses tool. Maybe he'll share
some of his experience.

> What's your plan for attachments?
We're not quite sure how to handle those, yet. Theoretically, we could
add attachments as mime-data to the issue message, but that would be
insane.

In most cases, issues have an empty tree. So, we could add attachments
as blobs in the tree (e.g. how regular files are stored). This is
obviously not possible for patch-sets, but attachments are most often
used in bug-reports, anyway.

Also, a friend of mine pointed out that in "enterprise use-cases", the
attachments of bug-reports may end up rather large (binary blobs, with
debuggng symbols and core-dumps). Someone suggested using/supporting
git-annex for such use-cases in order to keep the repo small.

Regards,
Jule
