Re: [PATCH/RFC (take 2)] gitweb: New improved patchset view

I'm just saying that with HTML diffs, presented via gitweb in graphical

It would be nice though, when the gitweb output would be readable
on non css-capable browsers (i.e. w3m) too.  At the moment, gitweb
is mostly usable - the only problematic case is code and diffs.
These are presented via div-tags so in a non-css browser, all spaces
are collapsed thereby removing all indentation.  Couldn't code
fragments be presented via (styled) pre-tags for backward compatibility?
Pretty please :)

Btw, while the css version looks nice, Opera seems to have extreme
performance problems with gitweb's project page when there are a lot
of repositories.  I.e. trying to view http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/
brings my system to its knees.  Turning off style sheets cures it
but then diffs are unusable ...
