Hi Fazlan,

Thanks for pointing out this usability glitch. We need find a proper
solution to this. Srinath and I discussed few days back to organize a
usability review around the G-Reg UIs. We can discuss these issues
thoroughly and agree on the best way forward during that review.

Also, as discussed on architecture@, with Sanjiva et al, we are renaming the
current "version" concept in the registry to "revision", and as a part of
that refactoring, these UIs will also have to be revamped.

Didn't quite get this bit, why do we have "*file.txt*/file.txt" (I mean the
repetition)?

Thanks,
Senaka.
