Subject: [PATCH] gitweb: Do not show difftree for merges in "commit" view

From: Jakub Narebski <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2006 17:53:45 +0100

Do not show difftree against first parent for merges (commits with
more than one parent) in "commit" view, because it usually is
misleading.  git-show and git-whatchanged doesn't show diff for merges
either.
