I have a private page containing a text box I can type the hash into.
This is very fast and it works with hash prefixes too, which I bet
google would not.

     <form action="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb"
      method="get" id="goto-commit-id">
      <input type="hidden" name="p" value="postgresql.git" />
      <input type="hidden" name="a" value="commitdiff" />
      Git Commit Hash <input type="text" name="h" size="60" />
     </form>

Dunno if enough people would use this to justify putting it on a public
page.
