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...
