Re: [RFC] gitweb wishlist and TODO list

I am planning on copying features from xmms2's gitweb version 
to git's gitweb, and introducing new ones.

Which of those should be implemented first?

Clean-ups and obvious fixes without introducing new features
first please.

* Add (of course optional, like blame support) snapshot support. There are
  at least two different implementations. I'd prefer to do without second
  CGI script, but perhaps this is better from the performance point of view.
  gitweb-xmms2 has snapshot.cgi in Python: should it be rewritten in Perl?

Isn't it just the matter of spawning git-tar-tree?

* gitweb-xmms2 has something called committags support: it means that
  'BUG(n)', 'FEATURE(n)' and 'RELEASE: xx' in commit message are turned into
  bugtracker (Mantis for xmms2) or wiki links. It is extension of turning
  sha1-ids into references. Probably needs some extra configuration file,
  and some per repository configuration. Of course we want to support not
  only Mantis, but also e.g. Bugzilla (e.g. Linux kernel) and conventions
  for marking bugs therein.

Yes, I found this quite nice.

BTW, are you in touch with xmms2 folks?
