Today: deepening my knowledge of relm4. My immediate objective is to add a files list to the sidebar. Once files are selectable, I'll show a file view in the main pane.

I spent a while reading up on Relm's factories, but kept wondering how they relate to GTK's own list views. The Relm docs recommend using GTK directly for lists with many items---I think all the files in a git commit / working directory probably qualify.

Question I've been pondering: if Git Kit (or whatever this thing is called) is going to be a sort of combination of git gui and gitk with a dash of GitLens thrown in, then we'll have to represent the relationship of commits to each other, and of each commit to its file tree, and of each file to the commits that created it.

All at once?

Which is, like, a tall order.
