Do you mean the tree below? Well - it doesn't hurt me. But if it went 
away (with a link to easily reach the tree from that page), I'd not protest.

It doesn't matter *for me*, because I don't use it anyway. But I can see 
how people might miss it.

I don't quite get that. Which information on that page requires to 
scroll down several pages in gitiles, which does not on cgit?

This is not the fourth argument, but rather the second ;-)

For me, double-clicking commit number in the address bar in Chrome on 
Windows (e.g., between b and f in the URL above), selects the commit ID 
without the trailing part. Well - of course, if the commit diff were 
right on that initial page without ^! (after the changed files list), 
I'd also not protest.
