Originally, the question was about average gitweb users. I'm sorry Luben, but as long as you propagate links that are not
a) blue b) underlined I'll have to disagree with everything you say out of pure principle.
The golden question: What is the interface such that both git-experts and never-seen-git- but-know-about-SCMs engineers can find it intuitive to use with minimal amount of questions?
Just make links blue and underlined and people will click them out of curiousity. 100% guaranteed. Try to spoonfeed engineers and they will spit on you, because engineers like to figure things out, even if they're obvious. Try to make things intuitive for average users and you will be wrong, because intuition is highly culture- and experience oriented. Try to make it foolproof and you will fail, because fools are so ingenious.
The one and only thing everyone looking at a gitweb interface has in common is curiousity, so appeal to that rather than trying any of the doomed paths above.
