By the way, you can see this patch series in action at https://git.csx.cam.ac.uk/x/ucs/ > Second one, "gitweb: if the PATH_INFO is incomplete, use it as a > project_filter" looks interesting and quite useful.

This patch fixes the ugly query-parameter URLs in the breadcrumbs that you get even in path-info mode. Have a look at the breadcrumbs on the following pages: https://git.csx.cam.ac.uk/g/ucs/git/git.git (unpatched) https://git.csx.cam.ac.uk/x/ucs/git/git.git (patched) If you click on the antepenultimate /git/ in the breadcumbs you get query parameters without the patch and path_info with the patch. With the patch the breadcrumbs match the URL. > What is missing is a support for query parameters path, and not only > path info.

I used a suffix "if" to align the print statements and markup: + if $project_filter; Compare and contrast the search box on these pages: https://git.csx.cam.ac.uk/g/ucs/?a=project_list;pf=u/fanf2 https://git.csx.cam.ac.uk/x/ucs/u/fanf2/ Perhaps you would prefer the following? --- a/gitweb/gitweb.perl +++ b/gitweb/gitweb.perl @@ -5549,10 +5549,14 @@ sub git_project_search_form { "\n" . $cgi->submit(-name => 'btnS', -value => 'Search') . $cgi->end_form() .

Deep > hierarchies means deep categories (usually with very few > repositories) with current implementation. Good question. I was assuming flat-ish directory hierarchies, but that's clearly not very true, e.g. https://git.kernel.org/cgit/ I think it would be right to make this a %feature since categories already nearly fit the %feature per-project override style. I will send a new version of the series shortly. Tony. -- f.anthony.n.finch http://dotat.at/ Viking, North Utsire: Westerly 4 or 5, occasionally 6 at first, backing southerly 3 or 4.
