Well, I used the basic suggestions above, and came up with this fun little waste of time (in a post below - I couldn't attach the file, even though it's only 12k)

A little background - this is based on the BOfH Excuse Calendar. If you don't know who / what that is, read over here first:
http://bofh.ntk.net/Bastard.html

It's stored in shar format, created by GNU shar.

the "excuse" script assumes you have a working "/bin/ksh", and have common utilities like sed in your PATH.
excuse.web will output a weak excuse for HTML, and is meant to be called from serve_exc. serve_exc assumes that you have netcat (nc), and it's in your PATH, and it was compiled with GAPING_SECURITY_HOLE defined (to allow it to use the "-l" option)... It'll listen on port 8080 for a connection from a web browser, run excuse.web, then start over...

It may take some fiddling, but take the code below, put it in a file called excuse.txt, and type "sh excuse.txt". Then "./excuse" and repeat for endless hours of fun!

git-web--browse

GIT-WEB--BROWSE(1)						    Git Manual							GIT-WEB--BROWSE(1)

NAME

       git-web--browse - Git helper script to launch a web browser

SYNOPSIS

       git web--browse [OPTIONS] URL/FILE ...

DESCRIPTION

       This script tries, as much as possible, to display the URLs and FILEs that are passed as arguments, as HTML pages in new tabs on an already
       opened web browser.

       The following browsers (or commands) are currently supported:

       o   firefox (this is the default under X Window when not using KDE)

       o   iceweasel

       o   seamonkey

       o   iceape

       o   chromium (also supported as chromium-browser)

       o   google-chrome (also supported as chrome)

       o   konqueror (this is the default under KDE, see Note about konqueror below)

       o   opera

       o   w3m (this is the default outside graphical environments)

       o   elinks

       o   links

       o   lynx

       o   dillo

       o   open (this is the default under Mac OS X GUI)

       o   start (this is the default under MinGW)

       o   cygstart (this is the default under Cygwin)

       o   xdg-open

       Custom commands may also be specified.

OPTIONS

       -b <browser>, --browser=<browser>
	   Use the specified browser. It must be in the list of supported browsers.

       -t <browser>, --tool=<browser>
	   Same as above.

       -c <conf.var>, --config=<conf.var>
	   CONF.VAR is looked up in the Git config files. If it's set, then its value specifies the browser that should be used.

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES

   CONF.VAR (from -c option) and web.browser
       The web browser can be specified using a configuration variable passed with the -c (or --config) command-line option, or the web.browser
       configuration variable if the former is not used.

   browser.<tool>.path
       You can explicitly provide a full path to your preferred browser by setting the configuration variable browser.<tool>.path. For example,
       you can configure the absolute path to firefox by setting browser.firefox.path. Otherwise, git web--browse assumes the tool is available in
       PATH.

   browser.<tool>.cmd
       When the browser, specified by options or configuration variables, is not among the supported ones, then the corresponding
       browser.<tool>.cmd configuration variable will be looked up. If this variable exists then git web--browse will treat the specified tool as
       a custom command and will use a shell eval to run the command with the URLs passed as arguments.

NOTE ABOUT KONQUEROR

       When konqueror is specified by a command-line option or a configuration variable, we launch kfmclient to try to open the HTML man page on
       an already opened konqueror in a new tab if possible.

       For consistency, we also try such a trick if browser.konqueror.path is set to something like A_PATH_TO/konqueror. That means we will try to
       launch A_PATH_TO/kfmclient instead.

       If you really want to use konqueror, then you can use something like the following:

		   [web]
			   browser = konq

		   [browser "konq"]
			   cmd = A_PATH_TO/konqueror

   Note about git-config --global
       Note that these configuration variables should probably be set using the --global flag, for example like this:

	   $ git config --global web.browser firefox

       as they are probably more user specific than repository specific. See git-config(1) for more information about this.
