Please don't send patches as attachements, but inline. See Documentation/SubmittingPatches

Shouldn't the above be in commit message?
> Subject: [PATCH] Pass "-O xhtml" parameter instead of "--xhtml" to hightlight in gitweb.

Why the mismatch between subject of email, and subject in attached patch?

In highlight 2.4.5 '-O' means "name of output directory", i.e. --outdir. There is no --out-format either.

WTF this backward incompatibile change in highlight... the only solution that would make it work both for old and for new versions is to rely on the fact that HTML is default output format, i.e.

  	open $fd, quote_command(git_cmd(), "cat-file", "blob", $hash)." | ".
  	          quote_command($highlight_bin).
 -	          " --xhtml --fragment --syntax $syntax |"
 +	          " --fragment --syntax $syntax |"
  		or die_error(500, "Couldn't open file or run syntax highlighter");
