One possible organization might be: ///[/ ...] I'd really like to be able to publish nice clean URLs (without any query component) for getting at particular branches within projects, for example. The above might not be entirely feasible in the face of hierachical project names containing '/' characters as they might then conflict with branch names. Another general feature I'd like is for URLs to be as interchangeable as possible between gitweb and command-line git tools. My goal is to be able to push out a new branch and then send an email announcing the branch with a single URL something like: http://git.somewhere.org/project/branch where this would obviously work if fed to a web browser, but ideally would also be possible to feed to git-fetch or even git-clone perhaps without requiring any user knowledge on how to mangle it first. -Carl --pgp-sign-Multipart_Tue_Jun_20_10:33:13_2006-1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBEmDFf6JDdNq8qSWgRAsR8AJ4xGLQCbxruYk8nKJvOEl3+aHwqQgCeIbEd ujMyyustFd/feB73ZTX1vTA= =HFvi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --pgp-sign-Multipart_Tue_Jun_20_10:33:13_2006-1--
