I have these two patches still in my mailbox, unapplied:

[PATCH] gitweb: disambiguate heads and tags withs the same name [PATCH] gitweb: Try harder in parse_tag; perhaps it was given ambiguous name

I am wondering if they should be part of 1.5.4. They look Ok but it is not very easy to pick up what the real breakage it is trying to fix from Perl gibberish.

Can we have tests (not just "we do not spit out anything to stderr") for gitweb so that each patch can demonstrate the existing breakage, to make judging easier?
