Subject: [PATCH] gitweb: Mark first match when searching commit messages
Message-ID: <1204473434-26023-1-git-send-email-jnareb@gmail.com>

```
Due to greediness of a pattern, gitweb used to mark (show) last match
in line, if there are more than one match in line. Now it shows first.
Showing all matches in a line would require further work.
