Should be easy to do, but would probably wait (and be indirect result) of refactoring/unification of log-like views code ('log', 'shortlog', 'history', perhaps also 'rss', 'atom', 'search')

I have added it to my gitweb TODO list...

I don't understand you there. First, you have "(merge: 0d0f3ef 9778e9a)" in the navbar, so you can easily go to commit view for parents. Second, among commit headers you have two "parent", where SHA-1 of a commit is hidden link, and there are also 'commit' and 'diff' link for those.
