Therefore it really needs to be in, as df63fb also by Giuseppe (gitweb: use href() when generating URLs in OPML) is already in, and I think gitweb would generate broken OPML and TXT links without this patch. > > Accepting global actions in use_pathinfo is not a very robust solution > due to possible present and future conflicts between project names and > global actions, therefore we just refuse to create PATH_INFO URLs when > the project is not defined. I think it is quite robust solution and it makes sense; we use shortcuts http://git.example.com for projects_list page, and http://git.example.com/path/to/repo.git for overview 'summary' action for a project, therefore pathinfo has to look like the following: http://git.example.com/repo/action/hash with "action" _after_ "project". And there is also matter of backward compatibility of URL (URLs shouldn't break). Anyway, we have $home_link for default project_list page, which is path_info without project, and query without query string... > > Signed-off-by: Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@xxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Jakub Narebski <jnareb@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > gitweb/gitweb.perl | 4 ++-- > 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/gitweb/gitweb.perl b/gitweb/gitweb.perl > index 99f71b4..fa7d8ad 100755 > --- a/gitweb/gitweb.perl > +++ b/gitweb/gitweb.perl > @@ -830,7 +830,7 @@ sub href (%) { > } > > my $use_pathinfo = gitweb_check_feature('pathinfo'); > - if ($use_pathinfo) { > + if ($use_pathinfo and defined $params{'project'}) { > # try to put as many parameters as possible in PATH_INFO: > # - project name > # - action > @@ -845,7 +845,7 @@ sub href (%) { > $href =~ s,/$,,; > > # Then add the project name, if present > - $href .= "/".esc_url($params{'project'}) if defined $params{'project'}; > + $href .= "/".esc_url($params{'project'}); > delete $params{'project'}; > > # since we destructively absorb parameters, we keep this Nice. > -- > 1.5.6.5 > > -- Jakub Narebski Poland -- 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
