GitHub for Mac needs a lot more than a layout shuffle for the history tab. Why are there separate tabs at all for history, changes, branches, and settings? The left column is a silly waste of space (60% of the column is negative space).

GitHub for Windows makes more sense: click on a repo and it shows the current changes, plus the history, plus a pulldown menu to select the branch, plus a settings button. On the same page.

I really like it but I wonder how to navigate the diffs with just the keyboard. Anyone know? Up and down arrows change the commit but how to scroll the diff view on the right?

What's with the looping commit list? It's very hard to find older commits when the list just loops back to the latest as you scroll down.

Maybe restart app? It infinite scrolls properly for me

No, I'm saying the infinite scrolling is annoying. What is the point?

So you can see all your old commits? You mentioned something about it looping I thought. For me it just goes back all the way until the beginning of time.

It crashes pretty much every time I switch branches. The previous versions did not. This is a pretty bad regression :(
