... First, it did that incompletely: it did not add "blob" link for added files, and added block used mixture of tabs and spaces for align. Second, in "difftree" view the "blob" link is not the most interesting, *contrary* to "blob"/"tree" link in "tree" view, so it should be enough to have hidden link in the form of file name entry.I think these "blob" links are good thing to have, and if you think the earlier work was incomplete and know some cases are not covered I think it would be better to help completing it rather than reverting. I do not understand why you feel "blob" is not the most interesting. Often, when it is not obvious if a patch is correct only with the context, it is useful to view the whole postimage after applying the patch, and the "blob" link helps that.
O.K. I'll choose the "add blob links where there are none in difftree view" approach in cleaned up and resend series. I'll wait a while (a day or two) for further comments before redoing the series. P.S. Remove empty patches might produce incorrect HTML (one of <div> is not closed). I'll correct it on resend. -- Jakub Narebski
