[PATCH] gitweb: tree view: hash_base and hash are now context sensitive

[Luben Tuikov]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 350 bytes --]

In tree view, by default, hash_base is HEAD and hash is the
entry equivalent.  Else the user had selected a hash_base or
hash, say by clicking on a revision or commit, in which case
those values are used.

I think that this need some thinking over. For blob we have two
"base" objects: tree which have specified blob, and commit which
have tree which have specified blob. We might want to specify
that all hash*base are to the commit-ish.

Agreed, we should always refer to the commit-ish, for obvious
reasons.

This patch doesn't make this decision though.  It simply
sets hash_base to HEAD if not defined.

Now, since "git-ls-tree" works on both commit-ish and
tree-ish, we are ok.

I think so, too.  Jakub?

Status?  I see Jakub hasn't objected, and it is really important
for us to be able to link to "latest" binary blob -- for example
a PDF spec file.

Junio,

What are the objections to this patch?

Thanks,

No objections from me --- rather lack of objections from Jakub ;-)

But the fragments do not appear to apply anymore.

There is no call to create blob_plain link with hash_base
hardcoded to "HEAD" in git-print-tree-entry.

Care to re-spin?

We haven't heard anything from him, and on our last correspondence
in this thread it seemed we're in agreement.

Doing it right now.

As a interim solution it is a good idea, moreover with using $hash_base
defaulting to HEAD instead of using HEAD literaly.

The correct solution would be to make "html" page (i.e. "blob" not 
"blob_plain" view) also for binary files. <img> element for image/*
mimetype, perhaps <embed> or <object>, or just plain link for other
binary (not text/* or some application/*) types

I was AFK for few days.

We already do have a hash_base context. It is what allows us to
"select" a revision from shortlog and ask "tree", "history", etc
from there on, having set "h" and/or "hb".

What this patch does is simply set "h" and/or "hb" to
the string "HEAD" instead of the string "<SHA1 of HEAD>" when
h/hb is not defined.

I guess there it is a good idea, but we should always think
over if we want "constant" link, always showing the same thing,
or a "variable" (or "news") link, showing current version.

Explicit sha1 hash as 'h'/'hb' gives persistent, cacheable link,
while e.g. "HEAD" gives "variable" link.

Exactly what is wanted by people using git in a work environment.
