Repository History revision

• What is this page called? "Recent Changes", "Repository History", "/revision": standardise. Between the link in the nav and the page <title> particularly, but the route is also important. Perhaps /changes or something similar?
• needs copyediting.
• Pagination has similar issues to elsewhere. Also, most obvious here, is the fact that we don't need to display a link to every possible page. Please can we limit it to, say, a dozen nearby pages and an ellipsis.
• Without looking at dates, its not clear whether I'm seeing most recent or oldest changes. Change pagination to say "Older"/"More recent" rather than "Previous"/"Next".
• Table layout is pretty ugly (yes, I'm aware this is my fault).
• Timestamps are horribly unreadable. At the absolute minimum get rid of the micros. Hover for more detail?
• Can we link to an author page? Yes!
• Atom feed should have a feed icon!
• Why are we adding another <link rel="alternate"> to this page? We already have one for recent changes on every page in the site and the one we're adding has a less descriptive title. Which is correct? Use that one as a feed for every page.
