+Subject: [PATCH] gitweb: do not run "git diff" that is Porcelain
+
+Jakub says that legacy-style URI to view two blob differences are never
+generated since 1.4.3.  This codepath runs "git diff" Porcelain from the
+gitweb, which is a no-no.  It can trigger diff.external command that is
+specified in the configuration file of the repository being viewed.
+
+This patch applies to v1.5.4 and later.
