This is something I've been wanting for a while. There are a number of
things that don't 'click' with this proof of concept, and I'm coming to
the list to hear the opinion of users and developers on how to improve
the thing.

The patch is live at http://git.oblomov.eu/, an example affected page is
http://git.oblomov.eu/git/shortlog

Things that are sure to change:

 * the aesthetics and location of the toggle link (it shows on mousehover
   in the title). Other options I've considered are:
    + next to pagination (first | prev | next), either before or after
      the existing entries
    + on mouseover for the table section that refers to the (short)log;
      this would make it possible to put it summary view too, for example

 * if you toggle merge view when not on the first page, the reference
   (first) commit in the view is likely to change drastically, which
   causes confusion. I have not found a satisfactory solution for this,
   since the obvious way to 'lock' the view (start paginating from the
   current top commit) prevents prev/next navigation
