Hey,

I can’t remember all the details (2008!), but the main idea was to
feed the URL directly to something that would process it according to
the content type header. In particular, I believe I linked xml files
using xinclude from another xml processed by xsltproc and generating
some html. And maybe linked some pictures too. It’s been a while since
I’ve done that though I think I still use that setup (haven’t updated
cgit there for a while tho).

That is not to say you’ve done me wrong by removing the feature, I’m
not in the position to judge without diving deeper into background of
the change ;-)

Love,
H
