I just discovered that the JS I used is not supported in IE<=9. What is the
policy on supporting older browsers? According to
http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_explorer.asp we are talking
about ~3% of users. I tend to believe that the target audience for fossil
is of the more computer-savvy kind, and therefore even more likely to be
using a modern browser than the average internet user.
Also, in this specific case, the worse that will happen to these users is
the lines in the file tree will look funny.

Should I bother changing this to something less elegant that works in older
browsers?
