Fair enough, but that will change, and timestamps don't appear to be an
option. I'm sure it wouldn't be too painful to add, I'll probably look at
it myself when I switch to FreeBSD-13.

I liked svnweb. I like cgit. github is too heavy for browsing (I can't be
the only one who fires up w3m from the command line to do a quick
check on something)

A typical "file/directory" type ui that git has is all I want... but
with absolute timestamps!
