Git-cola

=======

Usability, bells and whistles
-----------------------------
* The git config guitool action can now be grouped under user-defined menus.
This is done by using slash (``/``) delimiters in the action name.
Entries before the final slash are treated like sub-menus inside the
top-level ``Actions`` menu.

and can be configured to display text, just icons, or text and icons.

key is pressed.

``bin/git-cola-sequence-editor`` executable location to enable external
reuse of this general-purpose tool.
