If you don't want avatars you can disable them and the headers look just like
they did before. If you do want to see avatars and you don't like them on the
left then that's a valid complaint. Actually I don't use the avatar feature,
but I thought someone who did might want to see the avatar of the commiter as
well and didn't see any way to have both of them on the right. Unless there is
someone who likes this I'll take it out.

Out of curiosity, if the icons were better would you be ok with that? The
reason I wanted to change it was to get rid of the web 1.0ish look of the text
buttons, this is supposed to be a MacOS X app after all. Those icons were the
best I could come up with, but I'm not a designer, maybe we can get someone
with real design skills to help out.
Besides better looking text buttons would there be any benefit to putting the
files in categories? Then there's no need for anything that looks like a button.
