But I guess for gitweb, you do want to use --full-history in this case ;(

It is now easy with patch 3/7 "Use @hist_opts as git-rev-list parameters in
git_history" to remove '--full-history' from git-rev-list parameters in
git_history subroutine.

Well, generating not-so-useful output fast is, eh, not-so-useful
anyway, so being able to add or not add to the set of options on
a whim is not so much of value.  The real value lies in deciding
if it is needed (and I think --full-history is needed for gitweb)
and if so coming up with a way to get the same result with
cheaper operations.
