Hmm.. I would say that page, with all newlines from log messages stripped, is 
not very usable. Say, instead of:

r442046 | rgruber | 2005-08-01 16:36:25 +0400 (Mon, 01 Aug 2005) | 7 lines

Fixed two bugs in variable widget:
* wrong representation of string which starts with a lot of same
* characters
* references which points to structs of classes could not be opened to
* see
  their content

I see:

 languages/cpp/debugger/gdbparser.cpp: Fixed two bugs in variable widget: *

Could that be fixed?
