The following set of patches implements Junio's excellent
idea of printing the commit-8 only on the leading row of
a commit block, as well as implementing mouse-over title of
the author and the date of the commit.
By the way, by definition any idea by me on UI is sucky, not
excellent.
I think this patch gives title= only to rows that happen to be
at the beginning of a block, as opposed to what I placed in
"next" which does it for the whole commit-8 column (and I did
not have to do that for N lines because it uses rowspan to
extend that column over multiple rows), so I suspect it makes
"mouse-over" less useful.
