Good.  Beside fixing excaping of multibyte Unicode characters this
also finally makes gitweb use '+' and not '%20' to encode space ' '
in CGI parameters.

This reminds me that gitweb really should do conversion / marking data
as UTF-8 _on input_, to avoid situations where output is mangled
because of problems with Unicode.  That goes to my gitweb's TODO.

The tip commit should be fixed before accepting.  There are some
problems with it as it is now:

 * $hash parameter is abused to hold version suffix of snapshot
   filename (and archive prefix), e.g. 'next-ae4ab03'; it really
   should be done using separate variable, and perhaps even separate
   subroutine which would generate snapshot name.

 * I don't think it works with fully qualified refnames that gitweb
   itself generate, e.g. 'refs/heads/next' or 'refs/tags/v1.6.0',
   nor with hierarchical branch names such as 'mr/gitweb-snapshot';
   snapshot name can't include '/', and prefix shouldn't include '/'
 
 * when new test is running with --debug option, it dumps whole output
   of gitweb for 'snapshot' action, which includes *binary data*, and
   not only HTTP headers like it should (at least in first version).

Is this version that uses title attribute to show that this link is
different in that it leads to search results, not an action view?

The first three makes fairly 'invisible' change, but introduce
possibility of using JavaScript in gitweb.  I'd like more testing with
different browsers than mine, but corrections if any can be done
in-tree.

The "Create links" patch is not ready yet.

I think nested expand is easier to use than a mode switch: using
scoping (well, kind of) like in high-level programming languages is
IMVHO easier than programming a state machine like in assembler (or
e.g. OpenGL).

On the other hand this makes pretty format into a mini-language; also
we already have and use mode switches in the form of color codes.
Perhaps if color also used wrapping / nested expand, so one doesn't
have to track where to turn off and on which toggle...

I understand that %a%+b expands to %a%n%b if %b has non-empty
expansion, and to %a if %b is empty, but what %-b is used for?

BTW. I would really prefer if this series was send with cover letter
explaining series and perhaps differences from previous version of
series as a whole (reordering, splitting and joining patches, new
patches etc.), and individual patches in series replies to this cover
letter, without 'Re: ' prefix in subject, and with explanation of the
difference from previous version (if any) in the commentary area.

Hmmm... what is happening with that series?
