Heh, in 2008 we already had more than a few dozen.
I think
(1) It is perfectly OK to add an UI option to let the web visitor
choose between simplified and full history at runtime,
optionally with a new gitweb.conf option to let the project
owner choose which one is the default;
(2) It is also OK to add gitweb.conf option to let the project/site
choose between the two, optionally allowing the web visitor to
override it with something like (1).
Anything else would not give the same out-of-the-box experience and
would probably not fly well.
