[PATCH] gitweb: ref markers link to named shortlogs

From
Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>

<1219341860-4913-1-git-send-email-giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>

This patch turns ref markers for tags and heads into links to appropriate views for the ref name. Appropriate changes are made in the CSS to prevent ref markers to be annoyingly blue and underlined.

For all git ref types it's assumed that the preferred view is named like the ref type itself. For commits, we map the view to shortlog.

This is a resend of version 2 of the patch, as it seems to have dropped into oblivion without ACKs or NACKs.
