Possible but in gitweb

Possible but in gitweb

[Paolo Ciarrocchi]

Hi all,
I'm playing with a repo hosted by repos.os.cz and I think I faced a
bug (Pasky confirmed that this should be reported here as a bug).

My repo has two branches,
master
html

Master contains a text file while html contains his conversion in html
done via asciidoc.

I need to URLs that point to the top of the branches in order to have
an easy way for lnkind the documentation to external portals.

This link points to HEAD, so top of master:
http://repo.or.cz/w/LinuxKernelDevelopmentProcess.git?a=blob_plain;f=LinuxKernelDevelopmentProcess;hb=HEAD

Browsing the repo I reach the following URL
http://repo.or.cz/w/LinuxKernelDevelopmentProcess.git?a=blob;f=LinuxKernelDevelopmentProcess.html;hb=HEAD
that is not accessible.

Looks like is not possible to obtain a link to the top of a branch
different from master.

Regards,

Because HEAD is master, not html, and there us no such file in master branch?

But all the following links
 http://repo.or.cz/w/LinuxKernelDevelopmentProcess.git?a=blob;f=LinuxKernelDevelopmentProcess.html;hb=html
 http://repo.or.cz/w/LinuxKernelDevelopmentProcess.git?a=blob;f=LinuxKernelDevelopmentProcess;hb=master
 http://repo.or.cz/w/LinuxKernelDevelopmentProcess.git?a=blob;f=LinuxKernelDevelopmentProcess;hb=HEAD
works

You can use
 http://repo.or.cz/w/LinuxKernelDevelopmentProcess.git/html:/LinuxKernelDevelopmentProcess.html
or
 http://repo.or.cz/w/LinuxKernelDevelopmentProcess.git/html:LinuxKernelDevelopmentProcess.html
(and there is remote possibility that links would work, too)

It is possible, but you must specify the branch.

P.S. Please reply also to git mailing list...

Fair enoough but then there should be no link in the web interface.
That sounds like a bug in the interface.

Yeah, but I would like to see the interpreted page.

http://repo.or.cz/w/LinuxKernelDevelopmentProcess.git?a=blob;f=LinuxKernelDevelopmentProcess;hb=master

That is master not html
  http://repo.or.cz/w/LinuxKernelDevelopmentProcess.git?a=blob;f=LinuxKernelDevelopmentProcess;hb=HEAD

Same as above.

Yes, thanks! Is it reachable via the web interface?
Is it always pointing to the top of the repo?

Well, I don't see how it is possible just browsing with gitweb.
Am I wrong?

Where did you find this link? On what page?

"Browsing the repo" is not enough information to discover where
there is a bug.

Ah, well. This could be considered a bug... but it can be not.
The link is clearly marked "HEAD", so you are requesting HEAD
version of the file... which does not exist.

We could check if the file has HEAD version, but that is another
call to git commands.

What you want is the link to the tip of branch ("head", "top" or "tip")...
you are welcome to add that (or replace "HEAD" link with that).
Tip: href(...,hash_base => $hash_base,...)

It's not really hard to find. :-)

http://repo.or.cz/w/LinuxKernelDevelopmentProcess.git?a=blob;f=LinuxKernelDevelopmentProcess.html;h=b5e39498997930cd14ecddfe120f62c577ce2e28;hb=html

I think the link shouldn't be 'HEAD' but 'latest' and point to the
latest version in the currently browser branch.

I think so too, at lest this is the intention: "head of line", "latest"
whatever you want to call it, in the branch context one is at.
