Actually it turns out that gitweb URLs are described in gitweb(1) manpage https://git.github.io/htmldocs/gitweb.html#_actions_and_urls in the "Actions, and URLs" section. What was missing was explanation of available query parameters (the URL arguments after the '?'). Would the following patch help, or is it still missing something (NOTE: not tested)?: ----- >8 ------------------------------------------------------ >8 ----- Subject: [PATCH] gitweb(1): Document query parameters The gitweb manpage includes description of gitweb URL structure, but it was limited to passing parameters in the path part of URL ('path info'), and it didn't include explanation of query parameters. --- Documentation/gitweb.txt | 37 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 37 insertions(+) diff --git a/Documentation/gitweb.txt b/Documentation/gitweb.txt index 96156e5..301003f 100644 --- a/Documentation/gitweb.txt +++ b/Documentation/gitweb.txt @@ -395,6 +395,43 @@ atom:: Generates an RSS (or Atom) feed of changes to repository. +Query parameters: +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +In some cases gitweb cannot pass a parameter in path part of URL, for +example if a filename contains double dots ('..') inside.
