[PATCH] gitweb: ref markers link to named shortlogs

[Giuseppe Bilotta]

This patch turns ref markers for tags and heads into links to
shortlog/refname. Appropriate changes are made in the CSS to prevent ref
markers to be annoyingly blue and underlined.

I think this is good idea in principle, but

	(i) Why not do this for all the refs?

	(ii) I think you should decide on the type of the action based
on the object type of the ref; actually, any kind of object type can be
ref'd, and for tags you would rather want tag view, etc. (The tag view
actually sucks and should behave more like git show tag - i.e. append
the appropriate view after the tag info - but that is different matter.)

Funny that. My original plan was to have a different action depending
on tag (I tried shortlog for tag and commitdiff for branch). And since
I I had no idea what kind of action to use for 'generic' refs, I left
them out. Then I had second thoughts and started using shortlog for
both heads and tags, and collapsed the code but still kept the generic
refs out of the way. So maybe we can use shortlog as default action
and single out tags (and whatever else we'll find to need a different
action)?

What's wrong with my proposed approach to choose actoin based on object
type of the ref?

[PATCHv2] gitweb: ref markers link to named shortlogs

[Giuseppe Bilotta]

This patch turns ref markers for tags and heads into links to
appropriate views for the ref name. Appropriate changes are made in the
CSS to prevent ref markers to be annoyingly blue and underlined.

For all git ref types it's assumed that the preferred view is named like
the ref type itself. For commits, we map the view to shortlog.

Following pasky's suggestion, the action used by the ref marker
is now determined from the ref type, default action to the ref type
itsef. Currently the only non-default action is shortlog for commit
refs, but the map can be expanded as needed.
