Okey. I thought subject together with change would be clear enough. :)

The subject sums it up, if briefly.

Current code generates links to line numbers like ../file.c#l1234;js=1
It is wrong because a URI fragment always goes at the end.

The updated pattern improves this by treating # like end of string, to detect js=1 also before # and not only at end of string.

The updated code improves this by injecting [?;]js=1 before # if one exists, or at end of string (like before) otherwise.

To test how this works you can try it on
http://git.libusb.org/?p=libusb.git;a=blob;f=COPYING

where the change is in production. Compare the line number links with those generated by another gitweb with javascript-actions enabled.
