This is good, however there is no easy way to see the file's history,
and showing the last repository commit with the file might lead to a
false impression that the commit actually touched the file, even if that
is not the case.

Also, trying to see your changes at

	http://www.liacs.nl/~sverdool/gitweb.cgi?p=gitweb.git;a=summary

shows how nice it would be to have some gitk-ish gitweb view.  That
would be probably a lot of work, though.
