Just do git whatchanged -p <file> which has worked pretty much since day one. In fact, it's much better than that. The "file" can be any abritrary combination of files and/or directories, and it will track them all at the same time. So git whatchanged -p arch/ia64 include/asm-ia64 will track the ia64-specific changes. Newer git versions (ie 1.3.x+) support this in "git log" too (it worked on older gits, but it was unacceptably slow, so you might as well consider it "nonworking"). So git log [-p] <filespec> is your friend. Finally, as usual, "gitk" is just a fancier log viewer. So just do gitk arch/ia64 include/asm-ia64 and enjoy. You really shouldn't go to gitweb. The history view of gitweb is much less capable than any local view.
