I'm sorry, I don't understand. How is splitting up Gitweb::HTML to
submodules helping to reduce circular dependencies? I don't quite see
that right now. :-( Can you give a concrete example? Perhaps it would be
better to refactor the few problematic users instead of convoluting the
whole module structure because of the offenders.

Do we need to do this right now? I think moving huge chunks of the code
around like this right now is unneccessary and it might just enlarge the
patch queue and delay you in your main GSoC efforts; perhaps we could do
this later when the dust settles a bit and we are sure that the rest of
the modular structure we have introduced fits well?

Ok! I have meant to ask about that.

I'm sorry but it doesn't work like that - if you have put a lot of
effort behind it, you need to present us with the rationale you have
reached and convince us that this is the right way to take.
