Internet Explorer 8 stops at beginning of blame filling with the
following bug:
"firstChild is null or not an object"
at this line:
a_sha1.firstChild.data = commit.sha1.substr(0, 8);
It is (probably) caused by the fact that while a_sha1 element, which
looks like this:
<a href=""> </a>
It has a firstChild which is a text node containing only whitespace
(single space character) in other web browsers (Firefox 3.5, Opera 10,
Google Chrome 3.0), IE8 clobbers DOM, removing trailing/leading
whitespace.
Protect against this bug by creating text element if it does not
exist.
