RFE: Show just diff summary

[Konstantin Ryabitsev]

Hi, all:

It would be nice to be able to show just the diff summary and not all
the diff details. My goal is to do away with the following:

https://www.kernel.org/diff/diffview.cgi?file=/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/patch-3.2.63.xz

And replace it with this:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/diff/?id=v3.2.63&id2=v3.2

As you may notice, that diff is "hella big" :), so it would be handy if
I could pass a parameter saying "show just the summary" and the summary
would have an option to show the rest of the content similar to how we
have "show entire file" at the top with diffview, in addition to letting
people click on file names.

Is that a sensible request? E.g. the default would remain the same, but
adding &summary=1 would only show the summary. If "summary=1" is in the
query string, add a link "show entire diff" that would simply reload
without summary=1.

Best,
