www_coderepo: update blurb on the goal/purpose of this

I think putting too much functionality in web services leads
to ignorance of local/offline tools, so this web UI will give
hints here and there for web users.  Things like diff options
can get expensive and become cache-unfriendly on the web server,
so promoting local tools can reduce overall network traffic
and server load.
