Those views show one file at a time. You have to select a file (in the lower left pane) to see its contents or changes.

Thanks for the tip, I see the diffs now.
You were asking what features people wanted -- I haven't used murky enough to have a very informed opinion but I thought I'd share some UI feedback.
I'm used to the interface in the analogous program for git on the mac, gitx.
When I select a commit in gitx in the lower panel I see the commit message, below that a clickable list of files that have changed and below that the diff for each file in the commit.
I most often want to see the commit message and the file diffs when I am reviewing a changeset.

Clicking on the file link will scroll the bottom panel to the diff for that file. I can also use ctrl-down and up arrows withinthe lower panel to navigate from file to file.
Reviewing changes with murky takes more mouseclicks
Here's a 1m screencast showing similar browse changeset operations in murky and then gitx.

So my feature request is to be able to browse and review changesets with less mouseclicks.
