Not in git, the tools are awesome:
http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=users/felipec/purple-msn-pecan.git

*hint* notice the search field, and the RSS feed.

The whole gitweb is a single Perl script.

It might be *on* developer.pidgin.im but if I can't get into the main
site how am I expected to find the right URL?

I refuse to save that URL, or type any commit id; take a look at this
commit mail notification:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=E1JJtjk-0005Uf-JR%40sc8-pr-svn3.sourceforge.net&forum_name=omxil-svn-commit

Want to see the actual commit? just click on the link below the revision ID.

Best regards.
