I was looking for something like this but was shocked to find nothing like it actually existed yet - all the ones I could find just listed a user's repositories.

GitStatus is a widget that lists out the recent commits for a given (public) repository. Fully open source and on GitHub/etc - however, I released it right as GitHub for Mac came out, so I don't expect it to get any attention.

Really just throwing it out there to get it in front of any interested devs, since I doubt I'm the only one who wanted this. If nobody finds it interesting I'm sure the polls will show it! ;D
