Re: gitweb using "--cc"?

Btw, if it wasn't clear, this patch _does_ fix the fact that "git-whatchanged" didn't show merges even if they have conflicts.

Of course, since the raw format is equivalent to "-c" and only bases its "should I show" logic on whether the file has changed at all, it very fundamentally will never be able to tell the difference between a real content conflict and something that just had file-level automatic merging.

So "git-whatchanged" will now show a lot of merges that didn't really change anything, but that just merged on a file level (ie the whole merge just goes away when you specify "--cc").

Still, that's actually interesting information too, so you can consider this a feature.
