Typo: s/easiser/easier/ 

This paragraph could have been written better, perhaps by dividing it
in two sentences: one talking about collecting/factoring common code,
one talking about moving from presentational HTML (<i>, <b> tags) to
styling using CSS and class attribute.

Do I understand it correctly that this was meant as pure refactoring,
i.e. that none of gitweb output should have changed?  Because you made
a mistake, and 'log' view is broken (and it doesn't look like it did
before).  See comments below for cause and (simple) solution.

What are the changes as compared to previous (or just earlier) version?

Good... although I wonder if we should not get rid of chop_and_escape_str
altogether, and for example add title attribute (if needed due to having
to do shortening) directly to $tag, and not to inner <span> element.

Should "\n" be in returned string? Just asking.

Nice using of hash to have named optional params.

Usually though we use %opts and not %params for the name of this
hash, and we use CGI-like keys prefixed by '-', for example
'-z' in parse_ls_tree_line(), '-nbsp' in esc_html, '-nohtml' in 
quot_cec(),  '-remove_title', '-remove_signoff' and '-final_empty_line'
in git_print_log().  git_commitdiff() uses %params, but it doesn't
have non-optional parameters (still, I guess we should use %opts
for consistency), and it uses '-format' and '-single' as names.

href() subroutine uses %params... but those are not extra named
optional parameters to subroutine; they are CGI query parameters.


NOTE: Default tag (as used in git_log) should be not generic block 
element tag: 'div', but rather generic inline element: 'span'.  The
presentational HTML element '<i>' which we are replacing is inline
(layout) element.

It is because it is '<div>' (and probably because some "random" CSS
rules in gitweb.css match it) it breaks layout or 'log' view.  There
two horizontal lines: one for <div> element, and one for unnecessary
now <br> element.  As div.author_date it has extra 8px padding, from
which the top padding is visible as extra unnecessary vertical space.

Gaah, git has chosen to show this diff a bit strangely...

Typo: s/containign/containing/

You could say that it uses format used to show author and comitter fields
(headers) in 'commit' view.

By the way, what about author / tagger info used in 'tag' view?
Wouldn't it be better to factor out generating table rows for single
author / committer / tagger header (field) info?

Here you replace inline <i> element with <div> _block_ element, 
destroying layout.  Replacing default of 'div' by default of
inline <span> element restores old layout.

I'd rather use here (as mentioned in comment about git_print_full_authorship
subroutine) something like the following:

+	git_print_authorship_header(\%co, 'author');
+	git_print_authorship_header(\%co, 'committer');

Or something like that.  But this might be a matter of taste.

Nice.  Although... 'localtime' / '-localtime'?  Perhaps '-show_localtime'?
But that is just nitpicking (naming is hard), and I am not sure if 
proposed name is any better.
