By the way, do the diff between arbitrary revisions (say, between two
branches/two refs) and between arbitrary versions of the same file
would be useful to have in gitweb?

A nice tool, lot of ideas to steal ;-)

FishEye? I haven't took the full tour, but the tool seems somewhat
CVS centric, i.e. per file history, file description,...

But for example "breadcrumbs" idea for the file path (each segment
of path being link to given (sub)directory) is a nice one. Although 
if I remember correctly the pathname (for files only) is currently
hack to have somewhere link to "head" version of current file in
plain format. 

Also the UI for diff between arbitrary revisions could be interesting.

There is problem with git encouraging multiple branches and nonlinear
history. While it would be fairly easy either to add Wiki-like (e.g.
http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/ or http://en.wikipedia.org) radio-boxes to mark
revisions to compare, or add pull down menu to select revision (useless
with longer history) of a given file (we have diff-to-current in file
history, by the way), the true power of selecting revisions to compare
would be when we would have graphical history visualizer built in, similar
to gitk and qgit. 

By the way, do you known any common Perl modules for generating PNG
(graphs)?
