I notice the web interfaces to many git sites are very risky to just click on. E.g., just clicking http://repo.or.cz/ sends megabytes to the users browser. At least the homepage of such sites should be something lighter in weight.

There are lots of reasons fore and against what your proposing, and there is no good answer. Yes it sends a lot of data, but one could argue - more data is better than less data. - John 'Warthog9' Hawley On Mon, 2008-12-29 at 13:03 +0800, jidanni@jidanni.org wrote:

That is a bit of historical artifact. Currently the "index" page for gitweb installation is 'projects_list' page with _all_ the projects hosted. It is not split into pages, like for example 'log' or 'heads' views are; there were some patches for that, but would have to be redone as the area changed a bit since. It could have been replaced by projects search page... It is a bit of historical reason. -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git

For the specific case of repo.or.cz, I guess that turning on HTTP compression might help a lot. Anders.
