Re: [PATCH (resend)] gitweb: Fix bug in "blobdiff" view for split (e.g. file to symlink) patches

This patch fixes this bug in git_blobdiff (in "blobdiff" view).

Junio, you probably have missed this patch in the noise...

Probably.  Although I do remember seeing the patch, it was
unclear why --full-index is needed (and it still is unclear to
me).  Do you have a parser that expects/depends on full
40-hexdigit hash on the index line?

Not a complaint but a question -- I do not mind (actually prefer,
probably) if gitweb worked on full 40-hexdigit internally to
avoid possible ambiguity issues, although the output may need to
be truncated to save people from having to see unneeded precision.
