I've never tried 'gitk --all' but I'm OK with changing the way
--graphical option displays the patches.

'show' can also display a range of patches.

This was initially a re-implementation of 'git show' that was able to
understand patch names (you can also give any commit id as argument).
I later extended it to accept patch ranges.

As I said in a different e-mail, push/pop were the command names used
by quilt. I agree that they are confusing. Maybe we could change
commit/uncommit to store/unstore or something else (but I would like
to keep push/pop).

I don't like the idea of command aliases that much, it looks like
unneeded complexity. You can use the bash aliases if you want (i.e.
'alias stg-ppush="stg push"').
