is there a way to browse the history versions (rather than the plain diff) in a git repo? i'm looking something like what you would expect from tortoiseSvn log/diff browser but for ubuntu. I don't want to see the diffs directly but rather the whole file with the version in its original context, with a highlight showing diffs from previous version

Git file History provides information about the commit history associated with a file. To use it: Go to your project's Repository > Files. In the upper right corner, select History.
On GitHub, you can see the commit history of a repository by: Navigating directly to the commits page of a repository. Clicking on a file, then clicking History, to get to the commit history for a specific file.
Git stores the complete history of your files for a project in a special directory (a.k.a. a folder) called a repository, or repo. This repo is usually in a hidden folder called . git sitting next to your files.
The git log command shows a list of all the commits made to a repository. You can see the hash of each Git commit , the message associated with each commit, and more metadata. This command is useful for displaying the history of a repository.
gitg does this, available through the repositories. There are other git visualizers but I don't know about them.
For gitg choose the commit in the branch, and then the 'tree' tab (next to 'details', which show the difference).

There is tortoiseGit. I would recommend on not cloning as much as I did with tortoiseSVN.
