What I understand is that right now, the SHA1 links are "pre-processed" by gitweb so that the 'a' parameter is correct, right? Out of curiosity, I just went to the kernel git repository (I don't know the git version that git.kernel.org uses offhand) and altered the 'a' parameter to something which is not even an 'a' command at all: 500... However, if I try a VALID 'a' command with an "irrelevant" 'h' parameter, it acts quite funny: it just looks like it wants to try the closest match, but takes some time figuring it out... Sometimes to something relevant, sometimes to nothing really relevant. See for instance [1], in which 'a' was originally "commit". Ow.

In fact, what you really want is span for CSS! Then why not, just, making a document to say "This is what you can do with CSS for gitweb", and say "these are the available CSS tags", and then be done with it? I mean, when comes the day that someone will WANT other spans to be defined, badly, it's not like it will be unheard of, won't it? > > > And I don't see what you '_a_' and '_b_' are about... > > For example in link match, the text of the link can be further refined > by committags later in sequence. I still don't get it. Can you give an example? [personal thoughts: it would be really, really nice if, somewhat, gitweb.perl were splitted somewhat into different modules, and ideally use more of "what's out there on CPAN". I'm convinced that some CPAN modules would be of GREAT help to gitweb, as well as I'm convinced that not many people out there use Windows to run gitweb anyway :p] -- fge -- 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
