I'm pretty sure this is not supported in gitweb. If it has some actual
plugin functionality that would be something we could use but I'm not sure
we want to fork github just for that functionality.

Previously committers have just pasted the full link I think - which would
be easy enough to go back to. Certainly a lot easier than actually forking
gitweb. And it would then also work for all other places that render the
commits, such as github or just your personal "git log".
