Speed up history generation as suggested by Linus.

This would speed things up but at the same time it changes the
semantics because it involves merge simplification, no?

Or just add a flag or config option that enables "--full-history" on that 
git-rev-list. Perhaps it should be the default fir gitweb.

With --full-history, it should still be better to do this inside 
git-rev-list than piping things into git-diff-tree just to limit by 
pathname..
