I can understand that.

This patch is _a_ solution: it fixes "blobdiff" view for all blobdiff URIs gitweb generates now. But it is not _the_ solution, as it doesn't work with Martin work on adding "(base | diff)" links to allow to view diff between arbitrary commits, trees or blobs; which includes "blobdiff" view of arbitrary blobs.

So if/when Martin finishes his series of patches, this part would be rewritten. But it is some time in the future...
