Linkify commit messages using regexp-based rules (same as Gerrit's commentlink) about gitiles HOT 4 CLOSED

Gerrit has a way to configure regexp-based rules to create links in commit messages
(among others) based on patterns: http://gerrit-documentation.googlecode.com/svn/Documentation/2.5.1/config-gerrit.html#_a_id_commentlink_a_section_commentlink

If would be great if Gitiles had such capability too, so that we could have the same
links in both Gerrit (on gwt-review.googlesource.com for instance) and Gitiles (at
gwt.googlesource.com)

Even minimal support for linking to issues and other revisions, with hard-coded patterns,
as is possible on Google Code Hosting, would be appreciated.

FYI, there is currently limited support for Gerrit Change-Ids in com.google.gitiles.Linkifier,
as you may have noticed. I agree it would be nice to support the same arbitrary linkification
config as Gerrit. Ideally we would extract this out of Gerrit so it could be reused,
rather than reimplementing it from scratch in Gitiles.

I've started implementing this one.
