The summary attribute is deprecated in HTML 5. Earlier versions may
still support it. I checked the source on various pages in my cgit
installation and they seem to contain generic information like
"repository info", "repository list", and so on. These same tables
already have CSS classes applied, though one could choose to style the
two differently with CSS(3) rules like:

	table[summary="repository info"] {
		color: #f00;
	}

I wrote two patches to fix this: the first patch simply removes the
"summary='...'" parts, and the second adds classes (where needed) so
that style writers that used the above method to style can still target
the same elements, retaining specificity and shortening their selectors.

I have attached the patches to this e-mail for review.
