One other nice thing I've noticed about this tool is the
way series behave like regular git branches: I specify the name
of the series and from then on all other commands act on that
series until told otherwise.

git-appraise looks as though it might also have this behaviour.
I think it's a nice way to do it, since you don't generally
perform more than one review simultaneously. So I may well
use this idea in git-candidate if it's okay. :)

I haven't found time to use the tool to do any serious review
yet, but I'll try and post some more feedback when I do.

Hope this helps,
Richard
