Here are a couple examples of HTML interface to repositories on 
SourceForge; one SVN, one git:

SVN
https://sourceforge.net/p/skychart/code/3668/log/

git
https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/website/commit_browser

Neither are the most elegant such interface I've seen, but the basic 
elements are there, i.e., a list of changes and a means to get the diff 
hunks for that change.  SVN HTML actually looks a little better in the 
sense that it allows viewing diff hunks for all changed files at once, 
and git HTML seems kind of slow to load.  Scrolling through all the 
changes is much faster than looking at diff hunks for only one file at a 
time for dozens of files.
