I do not have particular opinion. I rarely use web UI for git and mostly 
for blame. I prefer to do it with local clone. I have never read cgit 
docs. Perhaps it may be more apparent that it is a merge commit.

Anyway at first I would ask the savannah team. E.g. vanilla debbugs 
instance is significantly more convenient than the GNU ones and the 
changes in the latter are intentional. Mhonarc (list archive) at 
lists.debian.org has better configuration than at lists.gnu.org as well. 
So there might be specific of particular instance.

After all, it may be convenient to review cumulative changes. When I 
worked with gerrit (a web application for code review) sometimes it was 
inconvenient that it was impossible to see diff for whole commit series.
