But what if I will want to give a link to my "workspace" to someone else? You can embed workspace id in the URL, in fact you would probably just use it instead of project name completely naturally.

I think it will be best to discuss session support (and work on implementing it) when actual features where it is essential will come up. So far, I'm unable to foresee them, but if we discuss it later in conjunction with some concrete features, perhaps it will be clearer. > > 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 that would be something entirely different, and IMO even much less interesting. ;-) -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis http://pasky.or.cz/ | "Ars longa, vita brevis." -- Hippocrates -- 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
