The only git-related tool I like is tig - it's an interactive git log, where you can scroll through commits and view diffs (and lots of other things) without having to copy+paste or use awk or whatnot. This tool (git-smart) seems like... I don't know. For me, I'd rather have my team suffer the learning pains of git than rely on a tool that, in some cases, will fail and leave them even more helpless than they were when they struggled to learn git.

I do recommend checking out tig though; that's the one that I have kept. It's also not a gem, it is available through yum or apt (and probably pacman, brew, etc).

Yes, I am actually guilty of using `tig` for a long time too. :-)
