They can often be _dramatically_ different. That said, the dramatic change would probably be if there were some way to avoid using "--full-history" (rather than "--parents", which doesn't add _that_ much overhead), since that "follow all parents" behaviour of full-history is usually what really makes a big deal. But I guess for gitweb, you do want to use --full-history in this case ;( Linus
