Re: [PATCH] gitweb: Different colours for tags and heads

Jakub Narebski [off-list ref] writes:

But they can be put into anonymous arrayref (e.g. ['heads/next',
'heads/autoconf'] at the start of 'autoconf' branch, or ['heads/master',
'heads/next', 'tags/v1.4.2'], not 'heads/master:heads/next:tags/v1.4.2'
my patch did.

Concatenating them with ':' into a single string, only to later
split it, sounds simply stupid; I'd go for arrayref if I were
you.

By the way, is it really usefull to have shortened ref name, e.g. 'web' for
'jn/web'? That is what gitweb does currently (only without giving ling name
at all). It is probably bad practice, but I've had branches ab/sth and
zz/sth, with the same shortname.

I think most people tend to use unique refs, so maybe showing
the shortname by default and unique suffix when ambiguous (that
would end up always showing minimal unique suffix) would be
reasonable.
