Eli Barzilay noticed that http://server/gitweb/project/<commit-sha1> link goes to 'shortlog' view, while 'commit' view would be more useful, but that 'shortlog' action is more apropriate for http://server/gitweb/project/<commit-sha1>..<other-commit-sha1> links. Therefore for the case when we don't have either action, or filename, or parent hash [base] in path_info-based URL, i.e. for http://server/gitweb/project/<object-id> link, instead of using 'shortlog' view we allow dispatch() subroutine to detect type of object and use appropriate action (in most case it would be either 'commit' action, or 'tag', or 'tree' for top directory).

A side-effect of this patch was discovering (and fixing in previous commit) long standing bug in corner case of path_info URLs parsing. gitweb/gitweb.perl | 11 +++++++++-- 1 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/gitweb/gitweb.perl b/gitweb/gitweb.perl index 9116a0e..928b5c0 100755 --- a/gitweb/gitweb.perl +++ b/gitweb/gitweb.perl @@ -819,8 +819,15 @@ sub evaluate_path_info { # hash_base instead.
