[PATCH 0/3] gitweb: blame: print commit8 on the leading row of a commit-block

[Luben Tuikov]

The following set of patches implements Junio's excellent
idea of printing the commit-8 only on the leading row of
a commit block, as well as implementing mouse-over title of
the author and the date of the commit.   Thus making the output
of git_blame2() less cluttered yet able to give more information
should the user mouse-over the commit.

The difference is that this implementations doesn't use a "stack-like"
chunk to represent each block-per-commit, thus eliminating the concern
of rare but present files with 100s of 1000s of lines with only an
initial commit.

By the way, by definition any idea by me on UI is sucky, not
excellent.

I think this patch gives title= only to rows that happen to be
at the beginning of a block, as opposed to what I placed in
"next" which does it for the whole commit-8 column (and I did
not have to do that for N lines because it uses rowspan to
extend that column over multiple rows), so I suspect it makes
"mouse-over" less useful.
