I'd rather not use JavaScript for that, but perhaps add in the history
view (shortlog, history) selectbox to select commits (for shortlog, and
history of a directory) or versions of a blob/file (history of a file)
like in an "info" view e.g. in MoinMoin wiki:
  http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitSurvey?action=info
JavaScript can be used to beautify this like e.g. MediaWiki engine
does:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Darcs&action=history 
(to allow selection of diff only in forward direction).
