If the browser supports no JavaScript, the user can use all current
features, except the new diff capabilities.
My first thoughts where also about implementing it inside
gitweb.cgi. This would mean a large change to the code, as all code
which generate links needs to be adapted.
Additionally, selecting a base object would mean, that you must submit
a request to the server and probably return something (probable the
same page, on which you selected the base object).
For me, this would be no problem, but for high load servers (eg. gitweb at
kernel.org), it would incread the system load.
With JavaScript, this step needs no server interaction. Infact, a
client could add the diff feature to any gitweb server with
eg. greasemonkey, by injecting the JavaScript code.

I'm not interessted in generating patchs via gitweb. I want to examine
and review differences between various branches/tags/commits/... .
The "pseudo" diff for gitweb.cgi was to illustrate, how to integrate
gitweb.js. The whole thing is under development, so I have not created
a clean version.
As I wrote in my last mail, I used blobdiff to generation tree diffs,
which results in wrong/missing file names. In the mean time, I've
create a first version of a treediff function for gitweb.
