Greater use of the HTML title (for tabs and title bars) in cgit

Please, are there plans to broaden/refine use of titles?

Early thoughts (with examples):

The title of 
<https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=a1017358b35e81ce2057ebf06d00b83cdb7f9ac9> 
could show:

* part of the first (summary) line of the message, abbreviated … if more 
than fifty characters

* the branch (not main)

* the short hash.

<https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/sbin/tunefs/tunefs.8?id=a1017358b35e81ce2057ebf06d00b83cdb7f9ac9>, 
currently:

> tunefs.8 « tunefs « sbin - src - FreeBSD source tree
– might additionally show:

* the branch (not main)

* the short hash.

Thanks

There are no plans - but patches are welcome :-)

This seems useful and is probably easy to add.

Git commits are not associated with a branch, so unless we have an h=...
query argument I don't see any way to derive the correct value to
display for a branch.

We could do the equivalent of ``git branch --contains $commit``, but:

- it's expensive
- it returns a list of heads

So I agree that the best source of branch name is the ``h=`` argument.

I sent a patch for this years ago which was ignored like all others.
