I would also be interessed in this.

I can't see them.

http://repo.or.cz/w/git/repo.git?a=search&h=HEAD&st=grep&s=GitAddLinks
reveals, that the function GitAddLinks is never called.
You should add a call to GitAddLinks in fixBlameLinks or call
both functions in <body onload="...">.

display: none will only work in CSS capable browses, but not text
browsers. Also why do we want do increase the size of each generated
page?

Is this really a bug? I think it makes the interface more consistent.

Would it be clear for a (new) user, why some tree entries have the
base/diff links and some not?

In which context?

In eg. http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git?a=log;h=gitgui-0.8.1, there are
display errors (even without the base/diff links), if the font size is
zommed.  In this case, the problem is that there is no real
table. The links (div.log_link) are position: relative, so they don't
increate the height of the enclosing div. Additionall it has an hardcoded
width in pixels.

Unless this should be come part of the official gitweb, adding each
link explicitly would be a maintaince nightmare.

Changing the color of the base/diff links is no problem. If somebody
is interessed in this (and tells me, which colors I should use), I can
adapt my patch.

We could call GitAddLinks, if the user clicks on the diff link instead
of calling GitAddLinks at page load time.

I could rewrite the JavaScript for this, if you think it is so more useful.
