I made some research and tests and here are my findings
for the scm url, ie. web access like we have ViewVC url for svn, git provides
GitWeb equivalent to ViewVC (even if a lot of other solutions exist [1]),
which is what is configured on Apache git http
Then the GitWeb url format is in the git documentation [2]
With this format, you can refer to branches, tags and revisions, like
following examples:
branches:
HEAD:
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven.git/tree/HEAD
maven-3.0.x:
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven.git/tree/heads/maven-3.0.x
maven-2.2.x:
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven.git/tree/heads/maven-2.2.x
tags:
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven.git/tree/tags/maven-3.1.0
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven.git/tree/tags/maven-3.0.5
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven.git/tree/tags/maven-2.2.1
revisions: (same examples as previous tags)
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven.git/tree/5a0e6574404b4964522d90c3438e25574a95466c
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven.git/tree/fbdd91ba01387485598935fe7d340261239e6a31
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven.git/tree/238f83f8230b1e0ad3239ca7e4f849591331c801
>From the GitWeb url format documentation [2], we should be able to navigate
into the reporitory directories by ading ":/<path>", but it fails on Apache
GitWeb installation:
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven.git/tree/HEAD:/maven-core
it works on Git's GitWeb installation
http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git/tree/tags/v1.8.2:/gitweb
I don't know why Apache GitWeb is failing: previous version? some
configuration?
I know that even if the feature worked, this wouldn't permit us to let Maven
calculate automatically child scm url from parent, since the format requires
':/' to be added for the first directory:
http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git/tree/tags/v1.8.2
http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git/tree/tags/v1.8.2:/gitweb
For actuel Maven to correctly calculate the second from the first, we would
need to write
http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git/tree/tags/v1.8.2:
or http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git/tree/tags/v1.8.2:/
which are both unsupported by GitWeb actually
Notice GitHub's url format works like a charm:
https://github.com/apache/maven/tree/maven-3.1.0
https://github.com/apache/maven/tree/maven-3.1.0/maven-core
https://github.com/apache/maven/tree/maven-3.0.x
https://github.com/apache/maven/tree/maven-3.0.x/maven-core
Should we configure scm url to point to GitHub mirror instead of Apache
canonical repo?
I still didn't had a look at the way release plugin can transform branch url
to release url during pom.xml modification: I wanted to share these findings
first
I had some thought about scm connection and developerConnection, but it's
another story and this mail is already quite long: we'll see it after we
improve web access support.

Hervé
