No. There are tools like gitweb for browsing history of a repository
you don't want to download. If you really want to examine it minutely,
you should probably just clone it instead. A git repository is
usually very, very small once cloned out.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
