the different "entities" in the standard calling convention. Advertise
other git repository browsers. Lastly, climb Mount Ego.

 -----------

+Displays changes in a repository or a selected set of commits. This includes
+visualizing the commit graph, showing information related to each commit, and
+the files in the trees of each revision.
 
+Historically, gitk was the first repository browser. It's written in tcl/tk
+and started off in a separate repository but was later merged into the main
+git repository.
