I had a patch to do this... I might be able to drag it out...
The only complication was that I needed to also disable showing binary
diffs.
We had several changesets with many large binary diffs and seeing a hex
blob in the browser is not very useful.
It also had a tendency to kill either the server or the browser if the
files were big enough.
