What is the recommended method for fetching the source contents of a file given a URL like:
http://github.com/activescaffold/active_scaffold/blob/master/lib/active_scaffold/locale/en.rb ? >From what I can read in the API, I have to: 1. Fetch the list of commits for that user/repo/branch/path to get the tree_sha 2. Iteratively call tree/show to get the blob_sha (since the tree_sha returned is likely to be for the root - is this guaranteed? - and the file I want may be in a subdirectory) 3. Call blob/show/blob_sha I'd like to avoid the iterative calls, and ideally also avoid fetching the (potentially long) list of commits. - Would it be possible to add e.g. http://github.com/activescaffold/active_scaffold/blob/master/lib/active_scaffold/locale/en.rb?format=xml|json|yml|whatever (which would do sensible things for directories as well) OR - Would it be possible to add a "fetch/:user/:repo/:branch/:path" API call, that would return the latest version of the file, or the listing in the case of a directory? As it stands right now I'll have to "git clone" the whole thing just to get a couple of files out - not ideal from a bandwidth perspective... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GitHub" group.
