Details:

Since a few days, looking at cgit pages on Savannah can result in a mismatch
when in the meantime a push happened.

For example, I looked at http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/nano.git/log/, then
did a push, did a reload in my browser -- no effect.  (This always worked
until a few days ago.)  But if I then look at
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/nano.git/commit/, for example, the last
commit is there.  But then going back to
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/nano.git/log/, the last commit is still
missing.  Another reload does not help.  Only when waiting for five minutes
and then doing a reload again, things will finally match.

Of course, this is a minor issue, because how often will it happen that a user
is browsing through cgit just when upstream does a push?  But when it does
happen... it can be rather confusing.
