Won't, at least as its current shape.  Somebody privately
mentioned that the code risks slurping the entire file in the
@chunk if it is untouched since the initial import, which is not
what we want.

The memory consumption worries aside, that would make the
clickable commit object name to appear only very at the
beginning of the page and would make it inconvenient to actually
visit the commit after scrolling down to see later lines.

It might become usable if it is given a cap to limit the number
of lines to put in a chunk.  I dunno.
