Goodie, that looks exactly like I envisioned. And the shortcuts to find 
the patch to a specific file (when the patch is larger) works beautifully.

Now I think "commit-diff" is prettier than the "commit" view (the latter 
ends up showing the "--pretty=full" information, which can be useful, but 
usually is just distracting). That's as it should be - I consider 
"commit-diff" to be the _normal_ thing, and then the "commit" view is the 
"give me all the ugly details in just the commit".

I've got _one_ small beef with gitweb still, which is that it seems to 
like always showing things in UTC rather than the "native" timezone, but I 
can see why people would sometimes want that. So I'm not actually sure 
it's wrong.

I think it _may_ be worth showing the native timezone in the "commit-diff" 
view (when you see only one commit), and then show the UTC time in the 
"log" view (when you see a lot of commits, and might want to compare times 
in different timezones more easily).

But I think that timezone thing is probably a matter of taste rather than 
much anything else.

Thanks,
