Re: gitweb filter for patches by a specific person in a specific timeframe

I have just completed my Google Summer of Code[1] project[2] working for the 
Wine project. Now, as I was submitting patches to a git repository, I don't 
have a branch solely containing my patches or something like that. Google 
seems to want something like this, so I figured maybe I could get gitweb to 
filter for my patches during the SoC period. Is that possible?
If not, does it sound like something feasible to add?

It is possible. Simply enter "author:Kai Blin" (without space between ':' 
and your name as it appears in author field) in the searchbox, and you 
would get an URL similar to the URL below:

  http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=git%2Fgit.git&a=search&h=HEAD&s=author%3AJonas+Fonseca

Of course you should first go to proper branch.  If you are giving the link,
you can write it in more human-friendly form, e.g.

  http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=git/git.git;a=search;h=HEAD;s=author:Jonas+Fonseca


Or you can just search for your name, which gives URL like this one

  http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=git/git.git;a=search;h=HEAD;s=Jonas+Fonseca

which will find all commits in the lineage of given branch (HEAD is 
the current branch) which have specified phrase in commit log (which 
includes signoff lines)

PS: Please CC me, as I'm not on the list.

You can always read the list using one of the many archives 
of git@vger.kernel.org list, or using Usenet (news) client via NNTP
gateway at GMane (nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git).
