Re: Git Survey summary

Dear diary, on Thu, Sep 21, 2006 at 06:27:24PM CEST, I got a letter
where Shawn Pearce [off-list ref] said that...

Since Git uses a mailing list model it would be nice if the gitweb
hyperlinks were into the marc and GMane archives by Message-ID;

Planned (as an example committag support).

Would it be better ti use MARC or GMane interface:
 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?i=200609200739.48732.alan%20()%20chandlerfamily%20!%20org%20!%20uk
 http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=[ref] 

Well, the GMane link worked and displayed the thread; the MARC
one didn't.  The GMane link is also less mangled.

When reading the mailing list via the web I do tend to read through
GMane more than MARC but I can't state why I have that preference.
It just happens.  Maybe I prefer white backgrounds over black ones?

Surprisingly few web mailing list interfaces are actually usable for
reading threads. Gmane is, MARC isn't (you don't see the list of
references and replies to the current mail, and the next/prev in thread
links somehow don't seem to be very reliable). That's a killer feature
for me, if MARC had that I'd have preferred it (I like black background
and dislike frames).
