I pointed this out months ago. gitweb is just a cgi program. But it has a very good search feature. When you search on github, you search every repo. Do you think this is helpful? When you search with gitweb you search below your current hierarchy, plus the pickax feature is invaluable. I also pointed out that many github features are implemented as javascript/web forms. For people who like drop down menus as opposed to a list of hyperlinks, github must be wonderful. > More to the point is that any clone has a full revision history so I am not >sure why you would really care so much about the web interface. I publish my repositories so that I can search them via gitweb! Publishing a repository has more than one purpose. With CVS, the purpose is somewhat limited. With gitweb, you can easily grab a snapshot of any subtree. Maybe github has enabled subtree snapshots, but last time I looked you could only get a top level snapshot. > I like the setup on github a lot better.

Now every source code search will return hits for each fork.

Apparently they are doing a good job. tom jackson BTW, there are five projects at github out of 64. On sf we have 64/64 and all previous permissions are maintained. -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[email protected]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
