For me most important were those from names (or /dev/null) in the case
of rename or copying (or file which was not present in some branches).

The link is to older version of blob; the links to appropriate blobdiffs
(and with earlier PATCH/RFC "gitweb: Provide links to individual
commitdiffs in difftree for merges" also to appropriate commitdiffs)
are in the difftree / whatchanged table.


Where to put link to diff? Should name be link to diff instead of
link to blob (to version at parent)?
