matled (Matthias Lederhofer) on #git proposed to use ':' as a separator between branch and filename (as branch doesn't need to be flat, e.g. "jc/diff" like branch name), because valid branch name cannot contain ':' (and this limit is only for branch name). He also said that filename doesn't need to be necessary file (which would be then present in "blob_plain" view), but it can be also a directory (which then would be present in "tree" view). We can either check type using git-cat-file -t via git_get_type subroutine, or assume that if we want for directory to be shown, it should end with "/". Let's assume for simplicity that empty branch name equals to HEAD branch, and empty filename equals to top (root) directory of project. So we would have the following types of path based URLs: * project overview (summary) page of project * project/branch shortlog of branch * project/branch:file file in branch, blob_plain view * project/branch:dir/ directory listing of dir in branch, tree view Possible shortcuts: * project/branch: directory listing of branch, main tree view * project/:file file in HEAD (raw) * project/:dir/ directory listing of dir in HEAD * project/: directory listing of project's HEAD -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ShadeHawk on #git - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
