href(..., -partial_query=>1) is meant to generate links which have not all parameters filled, and which can be completed by simply appending ';<param>=<value>'. This feature was implemented for future AJAX-y 'blame_incremental' in JavaScript. Originally by Petr Baudis as part of "gitweb: Incremental blame" patch, to deal with path_info URLs in JavaScript part easily and correctly. Signed-off-by: Jakub Narebski <jnareb@xxxxxxxxx> --- This change is extracted from incremental blame patch by Petr Baudis. In previous version of this series it was part of 5/3 patch introducing 'blame_incremental' view. However as you can see in incremental blame patch by Matrin Koegler: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/47902/focus=47905 this is not strictly necessary. JavaScript (which is sole user of this '-partial-query' parameter) can simply check if there is '?' character in link already. On the other hand side it makes JavaScript code a bit simpler. gitweb/gitweb.perl | 3 ++- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/gitweb/gitweb.perl b/gitweb/gitweb.perl index 2cb60be..0d91ac7 100755 --- a/gitweb/gitweb.perl +++ b/gitweb/gitweb.perl @@ -992,7 +992,8 @@ sub href { } } } - $href .= "?" . join(';', @result) if scalar @result; + $href .= "?" . join(';', @result) + if ($params{-partial_query} or scalar @result); return $href; } -- 1.6.3.3 -- 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
