No problem, stable qgit has less layout problems, probably the only
patch I will back port is the fixed font in log viewer.

qgit4 seems to have more layout weirdeness also in patch and file
tabs. I didn't fixed it until because I'm still wondering if it is
enough fixing the layout using stretch factors or bite the bullet and
implement a geometry persistent saving with QSettings (Qt4 is quite
powerful in this regard), of course saved geometry should work both
with maximized and not-maximized window, so perhaps saving
panes/splitters factors is better then save absolute value at least
for 'internal' widget, and use absolute window geometry only for qgit
main window.

Please add dbg(text) line in git.cpp, just below
Qt::convertFromPlainText(text) call

		text.append("\n\n    " + colorMatch(c->shortLog(), shortLogRE) +
		            '\n' + colorMatch(c->longLog(), longLogRE));
	}
	text = Qt::convertFromPlainText(text);
dbg(text);
	// highlight SHA's
	//
	// added to commit logs, we avoid to call git rev-parse for a
possible abbreviated
	// sha if there isn't a leading trailing space or an open parenthesis and,



This will print the converted text as plain string, as you can see
there is 'something' instead of spaces but I cannot guess what.
