Something like ls -lF format? Currently directories differs visibly from file entries, because directory entries are visibly links. One single slash at the end is much less visible than change of color and underline. Besides "blob" link for files and "tree" link for directories states explicitely the kind of view. List entry link states this implicitely.

Even if you agree to treat commits and heads specially, it treats directory entries differently from file entries; and differently from tag entries (where tag objects have the same duplication) in tags view. In tags view on one hand it clearly distiguish lightweight from "heavyweight" tags (even heavyweight tags without tag message), on the other "tag | tag ..." for tag pointing to tag is quite strange. >> And for consistency I'd rather always have visible form default >> self link/ > > A parse error kicked me off here, sorry.

There are many other changes which should be rather done, like for example remotes/ support. -- 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
