Right now, I would take a button to go to the previous revision of a file, showing the full file with the diff underneath.

Are you looking for something akin to `git blame`? Github & Bitbucket both provide a gui for this.

Something even closer to what you're asking for... in github hit the 'history' button on a file (next to blame) and you'll get the commits which affected it. Hit the 7 character commit-id and you'll be taken to the diff of that change, jumped specifically to the file in question.

We created GitPlex to manage our own code as result of not satisfying with existing tools on the market

"...not satisfying"? I think what you want to write here is something like this: "We created GitPlex to manage our own code as a result of dissatisfaction with existing tools on the market" or even better, a sentence shorter than that.

Very interesting demo. So it has at least one feature I'm looking for :). Basically, I'd like something like that, but with annotations like in Acrobat Reader (but more), on a tablet, and off-line at least for my own codebase.

I found a small issue with "peek definition" window: http://imgur.com/TT2KmpR.

I never really use `git blame` - my primary git use case is as a single user.

The history button in github is close to what I'd like, but it's not quite as friendly as single next/previous buttons that just paginate the changes to a file. That makes cycling through the history very easy, whilst 'click commit id, back, remember which commit we just viewed, click following commit id, repeate' all sounds a bit painful.

Shoot me an email at sqs@sourcegraph.com if you want to get early access to some of the upcoming things (or sign up at https://sourcegraph.com/beta). I think you'll like what's coming. Thanks for the bug report. :)

GitPlex can show history of any path (a file or directory) quickly via history button, and from there you can even refine the history (search for certain tags, commits made by certain people, etc) of the file, and once you get to the point, you can either view content of the file, or hit the compare button to compare with your previous browsed copy. An example here: http://gitplex.pmease.com/demo/android-framework-base/commit...

The trouble with that is, how on earth do you get the annotations to apply across revisions? Or would you be OK with them only applying to a given revision and then ... what, disappearing? Or going into a 'floating bucket' of annotations for the entire file?

I'd be fine with them sticking to particular lines of code[0] and disappearing if those lines were changed. This is not something I'd like to commit into codebase, it's for exploration / preparing work. -- [0] - "smart stick" can be implemented by remembering not just the line in file, but also the contents of that line and a (fuzzy) context.

Interesting. In these terms, it could probably just be a totally separate, general-purpose 'text file annotation' tool with git support (but not a requirement).

This is very impressive, well done!
