gitx A manual is missing

The manual at http://gitx.frim.nl/ is rather out-dated and not complete. For instance, the effect of dragging around branch labels is not explained. I would find it especially helpful to know which git commands with which parameters are executed as a result of the GUI commands. Some commands result in other things than one would expect, e.g., in detached heads.

Let me just say that the gitx version maintained at this page is my favorite git tool. No other tool has such a compact interface without clutter. So keep up the excellent work!

Yeah, we know that. Also, displaying the git-commands executed is not an option since we don't use the porcelain methods of git, so displaying what is executed would in no way benefit you.

I think putting a log of the commands in the GUI is a bad idea. But for those who want to debug GitX there is a user default that will log the commands to the console.

defaults write nl.frim.GitX "Show Debug Messages" -bool yes

Replace the 'yes' with 'no' to turn off.

Note that there are a lot of messages flying around and that this will slow GitX down noticeably.
