I see that it can be useful. But is this discoverable, and does this
do expected thing? Most of links in gitweb lead to some view (page)
that is specific to link; other lead to anchor on same page. Leading
to search results can be unexpected.
Perhaps title explaining what does such link does would help? Or making
style of this link distinct from other (dashed underline, dashed
underline on mouseover, double underline, different mouse cursor on
mouseover, etc.)?
Just my 2 eurocents. Feel free to ignore my ramblings.
