Link: http://git.php.net/?p=web/php.git;a=commitdiff;h=96da68ec07445852ebe5d60b6c80b7795151ded2 Log: Make the git page more useful for current versions of PHP. This is precipitated mostly by the fact that we no longer have snaps.php.net, so this is likely to be more heavily trafficked than before. This almost certainly requires more work, but at least this gets rid of the most egregious problems.
