What graphical git tool for Mac can show per-file history better than github?

I want a nice graphical version of git log -p some/file.rb on my Mac. Tower 1.2 boasts a new File History view, but that just shows two dropdowns with SHA1s to compare; it's slightly less useful than a MediaWiki "compare versions" history (it doesn't even show commit messages).

I can't find anything in GitNub or Gitti that does this. GitX does it about as well as GitHub, but it leaves me wishing I could just scroll up and down to see the diffs instead of having to click each commit. Is there a better tool?
