Yes think the simplest approach could be adding a new perspective, similar to the "Main" and "Review" ones already in the main window. This pattern already exists in the application, it'd be great to expand on it!
It would probably be good if these had an "open in new window' button or similar to allow people to keep current functionality as is clearly important for some users.
Personally I use the log window the most, so I'd prefer if it was visible most of the time, switching to the "commit" (main) window only when I'm ready to make a commit. I used to use Git Extensions a lot and this is it's workflow, "log" is main view and you open the commit dialog to make new commits. Again, I know this isn't everyone's ideal so I wouldn't expect quite this radical a change to ever be made.
