As far as I tested, this only works for renames, not
for comparing different objects, eg:
git-diff -r -p 08727ea8bba8c81678e5cf15124ada23ad097bc3:grep.h bb95e19c5f1e470d2efe1c0e4e04c291019e4b25:refs.h
shows differences
git-diff-tree -r 08727ea8bba8c81678e5cf15124ada23ad097bc3 bb95e19c5f1e470d2efe1c0e4e04c291019e4b25 -- grep.h refs.h
shows no difference
As I want gitweb to be able to even do such compares (not just renames),
I'll still need a solution for this.
My idea is, that if I got hb:f and hpb:fp, the user exactly specified
the blobs to be compared. Then I don't want any guessing logic.
