I do not trust people who rely on "tests" to catch counting errors
(although I am pretty bad at counting myself and often testsuite helps me
catch my own bugs).  Instead, let's follow the code to see if it is Ok.

You call format_paging_nav() from two places, both after calling
parse_commits() with $maxcount = 101.  So @commitlist could have 101
elements (in which case you would need to have next page because you will
show only 100 among them), or smaller than that (in which case you will
fully show them).  In other words, you would want to say 'next' iff

	(@commitlist > 100)

is true.  On the other hand, $#commitlist is the last index of @commitlist
array, which is one smaller than the number of elements in that array.
IOW, when it has 101 elements, it has $commitlist[0] thru $commitlist[100]
and $#commitlist == 100.  So the above condition is the same as

	($#commitlist >= 100)

So your counting looks correct to me.

I wonder if it is easier to read to use the more modern @array notation
than historic $#array notation (it looks very Perl 4 to me), but that is a
separate issue.  gitweb is littered with such anachronism ;-)
