I see gitweb is much more usable (faster) than a few months ago, but
there is one thing a bit problematic: in the history of patches I'm
very often interested in which kernel version of Linus' tree the patch

somebody else finds this useful too, I'd really appreciate adding such
a feature.
in git terms, you'd like gitweb to provide output for command:
git describe --contains
This is interesting feature request. I guess the support would be nice,
though in theory this operation can be a bit resource-intensive in case
there is not many tags and a lot of development (with uncached
repository, this query took quite a bit of time on my copy of the kernel
git tree). Probably this should be an optional feature and somehow dwell
on a separate page, which doesn't fit too well in the current gitweb
page structure...
Petr, I hope there is no necessity to subscribe to the git list for
this one question, so I'd really feel greteful for forwarding, if you
find this request reasonable.
Yes, there is no necessity - you can post this on the git mailing list
without subscribing yourself.
