Re: [PATCH 3/3] gitweb: Link to "git describe"'d commits in log messages

When I saw 2/3 I wondered about one thing and 3/3 shares the same,
which is that we only use regex match and do not validate for a
false match.  Would it be too expensive...

It's a matter of balance between false positives (and unresolving
links) and performance...

Yes, and that is why I asked a simple yes-or-no question.  Would it
be too expensive?  Your answer seems to be yes.

Have we measured?  Is that really a bottleneck?  Would it help to
update parse_commits to call a new command "gitweb--helper" that
produces the result of what git_print_log would have done to its
$log argument, for example?
