Re: [PATCH/RFC] Add support for the google-chrome web browser

The current behaviour will barf right away (I think) because it
doesn't know.  If it instead had a default case that just assumed
non-firefox behaviour, then it would fail *strangely* (instead of
predictably) on browsers that needed special workarounds, such as an
as-yet-unknown firefox derivative.

Ok, I can buy that.

I have a feeling that extensibility situation of this script is similar to
that of mergetool/difftool.  Perhaps a similar approach to refactor and
then support browser-specific peculiarities by separate files, outlined in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/134906/focus=135006
might work well, don't you think?
