Depends on D19162. Ref T13088. When a user links to $1234, we need to render a default view of the log with a piece at the head, a piece at the end, and a piece in the middle.
We also need to figure out the offset for line 1234, or multiple offsets for "1234-2345".
Since the logic views/reads mostly anticipated this it isn't too much of a mess, although there are a couple of bugs this exposes with view specifications that use combinations of parameters which were previously impossible.
