My repos integrate with packaging/build systems (some not under my

Accessing URLs like

shouldn't add a SHA to the archive name.


We are talking about the generation of a name for a Zip/tar file when a
user selects the option to download a Zip/tar archive from the repository.

Now it occurs to me that we already have a valid file name to use as a base
for the Zip/tar file: The base name of the .fossil file. That file gets
created and named before the project name is set, so would be a reasonable
candidate for the base name of the generated Zip/tar file.

I believe the recent fix (to make the prefix user-settable) goes in the right direction (and is really sufficient as far as I'm concerned), so what you propose might be another option here: a) define explicit prefix, b) select "use basename of repo", c) use project name. let the developers decide ...
