Well, it looks like this patch series is closing to final patch.
The "New improved patchset view" is done.

I'm not sure if without this patch (well, the unquote part) gitweb
can work with filenames which git quotes using escape sequences,
like ", \, LF, TAB. Former version didn't unquote fully, and it
passed partially unquoted filename to git.

The problem with using text color or background color is that
the filenames tends to be shown with different color and background
color: "tree" view, parts of difftree, parts of diff header, etc.
Perhaps text-decoration: overline;? Just kidding...

We always pass chomped lines. First chunk is unnecessary (we care only
for type), without second "tree" view look strange for files with
embedded newline in filename.

As I said, noticed while testing gitweb with strange filenames
in 'gitweb/test' branch.

Well, patch 5 and 8 could be collapsed.
