IMO it'd be better if we disable custom diffs altogether. Only diffs
between consecutive revisions of a file make sense for an online code
repository viewer. It's not hard to fetch cvs trees to /usr/ if
someone wants more information. Additionally, consecutive revisions
can be statically generated to get rid of CGI if it's getting abused.
