IMHO gitweb should explicitely request being somewhat smaller than normal,
because it has good use for long lines. Normally I want to set font so large,
that more than ~120 characters won't fit on the screen, since otherwise pages
that don't use margins are simply unreadable. However gitweb presents a table
with several columns, so having wider line is OK for it. Therefore explicit
'font-size: small' would make sense.
