When starting gitview, I get: $ gitview Running without gtksourceview2 or gtksourceview module Figuring it was a missing optional dependency I emerged gtksourceview-2.4.2 and re-emerged git-1.6.0.6. However, I get the same complaint.

I can confirm this.
Actually gitview is written in python, so it does not want to use x11-libs/gtksourceview instead it does want to use dev-python/gtksourceview-python package. Merging dev-python/gtksourceview-python package is resolved the problem for me. But i'm not sure whether this should be implemented to git ebuild as a dependancy or as a use flag.
We have USE=gtk in there already. I used it to introduce the dev-python/gtksourceview-python dep now.
Either this resolution is invalid, or an || dependency is needed, cause for me it seems to accept dev-python/pygtksourceview-2.4.0.
Once again, relevant part of that file is: try: import gtksourceview2 have_gtksourceview2 = True except ImportError: try: import gtksourceview have_gtksourceview = True except ImportError: print "Running without gtksourceview2 or gtksourceview module" so, even if current gnome-python dep is correct, pygtksourceview would be just as correct and seems to be preferred.
Created attachment 195847 [details, diff] Patch for 1.6.3.3 ebuild
Fixed in tree.
