Ravi,
I like gitg too!
When you say you installed Xubuntu LTS, I assume that you mean version
16.04. That release included gitg 3.17.1, as you can see at
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gitg&searchon=names&exact=1&suite=all§ion=all
You're right that that's a pretty old version. As you can see at the
link above, Ubuntu 17.04 includes gitg 3.23.0, which is much newer. So
if you install Xubuntu 17.04 you'll get that version of gitg
automatically - you won't have to build anything. You can get Xubuntu
17.04 at
https://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/
If you'd prefer to run Debian, it looks like you'll get gitg 3.23.0 if
you run Debian testing or unstable (but not stable), as you can see at
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gitg&searchon=names&exact=1&suite=all§ion=all
I myself run Ubuntu 17.04. It comes with gitg 3.23.0, but rebuilding
it from source is easy:
$ sudo apt build-dep gitg
$ git clone git://git.gnome.org/gitg
$ cd gitg
$ git checkout v3.23.0
$ ./autogen.sh
$ make
$ sudo make install
I hope this helps!

Hello!
Ever since I installed Lubuntu on my old-laptop I've been using GitG
for git-related stuff. (It's really awesome.)
About a week ago I decided to install Xubuntu LTS onto my main-pc, as
I really started to like linux. Unfortunately, the gitg version in
the default repository was outdated & horribly broken (can't remember
wich version exactly).
From that moment on I've been trying to build GitG from source. In
the middle of installing/building dependencies I encountered some
LVM-problems, wich caused me to switch to Debian 8+XFCE (skipping a
very large portion here since it really is irrelevant).
After hours of installing/building dependencies I finally could do
the 'sudo make install' on GitG (3.23.90), but it failed with an
error I don't understand/can't solve.
I've put the output of 'sudo make install' into a pastebin
(https://pastebin.com/kKSDYDMV), and I really hope somebody can help
me fix this error so I can finally do my codings on my main pc again
:)
Kind Regards,
Ravi
