It'd be murder for large and/or popular projects, but it's a really conventient thing to have as an optional feature. Archzoom has it, and defaults to off ;) I've checked out Sven's tree as well -- his implementation is pretty cool actually, much more sophisticated that I'd planned, and using POST to avoid stupid bots requesting the tarballs. In this situation ("look at my repo via gitweb, it has some cool patches over otherhacker's branch") it is hard to discriminate what patches differentiate Sven's repo from Kay's. I'm thinking of, when looking at a branch, having a link that shows the equivalent of `cg-log -r thisbranch:origin` and another one for `cg-log -r origin:thisbranch`. cheers, martin
