Package: git-core Version: 1:1.4.4.4-1 Severity: normal gitweb URLs use the a= parameter for the view to use on the given path, such as "blob" or "tree". Currently, if a gitweb URL omits the a= parameter, gitweb just shows the top-level repository summary, regardless of the path given. gitweb could instead choose an appropriate view based on the file type: blob for blobs (files), tree for trees (directories), and summary if no path given (the URL included no f= parameter, or an empty f= parameter).
Apart from making gitweb more robust and supporting URL editing more easily, this change would aid the creation of shortcuts to git repositories using simple substitution, such as: http://example.org/git/?p=path/to/repo.git;hb=HEAD;f=%s - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.20-rc6 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages git-core depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.15.5-1 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii libdigest-sha1-perl 2.11-2 NIST SHA-1 message digest algorith ii liberror-perl 0.15-8 Perl module for error/exception ha ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3.4 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii perl-modules 5.8.8-7 Core Perl modules ii rcs 5.7-18 The GNU Revision Control System ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages git-core recommends: ii curl 7.15.5-1 Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS, FT ii git-doc 1:1.4.4.4-1 content addressable filesystem (do ii less 394-4 Pager program similar to more ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:4.3p2-8 Secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh ii patch 2.5.9-4 Apply a diff file to an original ii python 2.4.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii rsync 2.6.9-3 fast remote file copy program (lik -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
