I agree completely with Jakub here. My original inspiration for instaweb was being able to make local commits, fire up instaweb in my working directory, and then to get a non-git-using cow-orker on my LAN to review some changes before I pushed them upstream. I'm no longer in a situation with non-git-using cow-orkers anymore, but I suspect many folks still are. -- Eric Wong
