Subject: Using sha1 of commit for id of gitweb Atom feed entry
Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2006 00:48:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200612040048.39768.jnareb@gmail.com> (raw)
To all using Atom version of gitweb feeds: perhaps instead of using
appropriate "commit" view gitweb URL as if of gitweb Atom feed entry,
use sha1 of commit? We could create a new (unofficial for now) scheme:
git:<sha1 of a commit>
or we can try to use tag URI scheme
* "How to make a good ID in Atom"
http://diveintomark.org/archives/2004/05/28/howto-atom-id
* "Tag URI"
http://www.taguri.org/
* RFC 4151 - The 'tag' URI Scheme
With tag URI we need:
1.) Identity by domain name or email address. We can use
(can we, Pasky?) use git.or.cz domain, or git@vger.kernel.org
email address
2.) Pick a date. We can use here epoch start date of 1970,
date of 1.0 git release of 2005-12-21, or date of creating git
mailing list of 2005, 2005-04 or 2005-04-10.
So for example the id for an entry which currently has id of
http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git?a=commit;h=278fcd7debf19c1efee18b32f8867becb18d1a22
would have either
git:278fcd7debf19c1efee18b32f8867becb18d1a22
or (one of the choices)
tag:git@vger.kernel.org,2005:278fcd7debf19c1efee18b32f8867becb18d1a22
What do you think about it?
P.S. Or we could register URN... ;-)
