what you are asking for would be a very useful piece of software, but 
that's very different from the current gitweb. you are fileing a bug about 
the software doing what it was designed to do. yes, it could be done 
differently. yes, that would be useful. but the software to do so is 
mostly a new product, not a simple tweak to the existing gitweb software.

right now gitweb isn't designed for figuring out what was merged when, 
it's just for retreiving specific versions.

if someone really wanted to do this, the right answer may be to take the 
concept of gitk and webify it (think SVG for the graphics and AJAX 
interfaces to retreive the info as needed). I think this would be a very 
useful tool, but it would be a lot of work to implement.

but without the graph showing the commits and how they are related to each 
other, you really are crippled in your ability to figure out how things 
are related to each other. Date order just doesn't cut it.
