Subject: [PATCH] gitweb: show age and author in blame output
Message-ID: <7v64gboqq0.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7v64gboqq0.fsf%40assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net

```
The commit object name link on each link uses "title", which
shows the author and age of the particular line when hovered
over.

The background of these links are painted on darker color as
they become older and the links on younger lines are shown on
lighter background.
