I have a feature request for gitweb. In the history view, I would like
to be (optionally) able to see the tags, interlaced with the actual
commits. The idea is to get an immediate view of all commits that
happened between specific tags.

But shortlog is a repository-wide view, while I need the same for
history which is a file-specific view.

With cgit, you can answer such questions by combining path limiting
and range queries, e.g.
http://hjemli.net/git/cgit/log/scan-tree.c?qt=range&q=v0.8.2..v0.8.3
shows all commits affecting scan-tree.c between v0.8.2 and v0.8.3.
Maybe gitweb could implement something similar?

Gitweb also supports range limiting in log-like views from some time,
but currently there is no UI for that, and you have to handcraft the URL,
e.g.:

  http://gitweb.example.com/repo.git?a=history;f=foo.c;hpb=v0.8.2;hb=v0.8.3

or (in the path_info form)

    http://gitweb.example.com/repo.git/history/v0.8.2..v0.8.3:/foo.c
