Jakub,

For binary only files, there is no HTML interface to refer
to, such that, hb=HEAD for _binary_ only files.  Unless of course
one types that on the URL line manually.

That is, I'd like to externally reference binary only blobs
at "HEAD", s.t. no matter _when_ the reference is used, it would
refer to the latest "version" of that file.

E.g. a PDF spec file.

My recent patches on the subject enable this capability.
