"get-following" is inherently a very expensive operation, so
I would suggest not doing this. It seems that nobody uses
these two subs yet, so probably it is better to yank them
before they cause damages.
A bit of clarification. gitk has preceding/following but unlike
gitweb it has three things that go in favor of having it.
- gitk can afford to use as much CPU as the user throw at it,
since it runs locally.
- gitk finds preceding/following in the background so the user
does not have to wait, and it is done while it gets the list
of commits which it needs to do anyway.
I wonder if we could AJAXize gitweb, and have _browser_ compute
preceding/following tags using some JavaScript...
That would be client side, could be in background, and could be cached. :-)
