Please remove those parts of quoted (cited) message that are irrelevant

O.K. Anyway, I think adding this feature is optional, as time permits;
especially that it is, I think, not easy.

This is a good idea.

What is lacking in above description and comparison of various
JavaScript frameworks is note about *your familiarity* with said
libraries.

Additional advantage is that there are many CDN (Content Delivery
Network) for jQuery that one can use.
I also think that for gitweb, where goal is to enhance its views
(rather than creating JavaScript app like e.g. GMail or Google Docs),
lightweight and popular jQuery library might be a best choice.

Well, if there is time for adding client-side graphical history view
to gitweb, Raphael.js seems like a good choice. But I am afraid that
this feature it as large as separate GSoC project.
P.S. Another source of inspiration for JavaScript usage in gitweb might
be git-browser project. Just FYI.
