It would be nice though, when the gitweb output would be readable on non css-capable browsers (i.e. w3m) too. At the moment, gitweb is mostly usable - the only problematic case is code and diffs. These are presented via div-tags so in a non-css browser, all spaces are collapsed thereby removing all indentation. Couldn't code fragments be presented via (styled) pre-tags for backward compatibility? Pretty please :)

Btw, while the css version looks nice, Opera seems to have extreme performance problems with gitweb's project page when there are a lot of repositories. I.e. trying to view http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/ brings my system to its knees. Turning off style sheets cures it but then diffs are unusable ...
