These self-contained URL are used in bookmarks and e-mails to the mailing list. I think "the length of URL" is a red herring at best, and shortened URL that is not self-contained is not an advantage at all. On the other hand, a proposal about giving multiple clients access to their own individual server-side checkouts (ala "workspace" in DELTA-V) would require some mechanism to maintain the state on the server end, and session management would be one ingredient necessary to achieve that. When I heard that somebody wants to do a "write support" in gitweb, I naturally thought the proposal was about implementing RFC3253 using git as a backend. I think it would be a reasonable thing to do (as opposed to coming up with an ad-hoc "write support" mechanism that is not compatible with anybody else), but on the other hand it might be a bit too ambitious for a one-student summer project. -- 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
