I just installed gitg 0.0.3, which is the version in
app manager in ubuntu.  Not very impressed.  The commit
pane looks quite like git gui but without all the 
branch-related commands.  And the history pane has no
search options that I could see.  Although, while I
was exploring it, it segfaulted, so there may be more
options somewhere.  Maybe there is a better later 
version, but on this showing it's not for me.
