Re: suggestions for gitweb

Adding some gitweb-help.html page, linked somewhere from within gitweb
pages (I think it shouldn't be embedded in gitweb, like help for search
options is), certainly is possible. And perhaps we should do that, now
that gitweb is more widely deployed, and used by "accidental" users
(developers) with no knowledge of git, and perhaps even without
knowledge of SCM [terms].

Yeah, that is definitely an improvement.

It should be fairly easy to add "diff to prev" link, but is it really
needed? It would be yet another link. Diff to previous version of blob
is contained in "commitdiff" and is easy to find and go to... well,
unless you are used to make large commits...

It would not be "yet another".  It feels kind of odd to get the
whole commitdiff from that page to begin with, when the user
already expressed that his attention is focused on that
particular path --- that is why he is in the History page to
begin with.
