Oh, wait... _its_ version of 'origin' will of course still be older.

But if I just configure gitweb with a _static_ list of 'parent trees' to
use for the 'not anything new' state, that's fine. If the tree in
question is a strict subset of _any_ of the listed 'parent trees', then
it's not interesting.

We can probably do even better than that -- we can look at what's in
remotes/origin and use that instead.

Actually, half those trees don't have remotes/origin at the moment --
but that's easily fixed. I have to create the list of repositories with
a script _anyway_, because it has to go looking in users' ~/public_git
directories. So I suppose I can make that script _ignore_ any repos
without it.

Actually, I'd like to group repos in the display according to their
parent. So all the repos based on mtd-2.6.git would be together, all the
repos based on mtd-utils.git would be together, and then the ones
without a matching parent would be in another group.

We could even put the intended parent into the index.aux file so that
gitweb doesn't have to work that out for itself.

Hm, didn't know _that_ existed either. Is there documentation I haven't
been paying attention to?
