Re: [RFC PATCH 10/10] gitweb: Show appropriate "Generating..." page when regenerating cache (WIP)

  I have stupid question, common to both the original patch and this
RFC.
[RFC PATCH 10/10] gitweb: Show appropriate "Generating..." page when
regenerating cache (WIP)
  Just why is a "Generating..." page appropriate?

  I have to admit I hate it; can you please at least make it
configurable? Why is it needed at all? It generates unnecessary
redirects, clears my previous page in the browser by a useless
placeholder, confuses non-interactive HTTP clients and I just can't
see the real purpose.

  What's the gain?

  Thanks,
