Well yes, 'All' does mean everything. It means filter=none.

In GitX 0.7.x the 'All branches' and 'Local branches' items are treated like 
they are individual branches even though they are not. When you select them the 
list scrolls to the top and you then need to scroll down to view the branch you 
were trying to look at. If you want to go back and forth looking at just the 
commits for a branch and all the commits (to see the history as it relates to 
other branches) it involves a lot of scrolling.

The filter UI allows you to select a branch and then go back and forth seeing 
the history of just the branch and the history of the project (but still at the 
branch).

Is there anyone else who finds it confusing? Either from viewing the screenshot 
or from using it?
