Add raw file URL support to the Repository admin page and Git.
Review Request #977 — Created Aug. 20, 2009 and submitted — Latest diff uploaded
Add raw file URL support to the Repository admin page and Git. This introduces a new column, raw_file_url, to Repository, and shows it in the admin UI for SCMTools that support it. This URL provides a way for certain SCMTools (right now, Git only) to access files over HTTP, instead of checking the file out through the SCM or accessing it locally (in the case of Git). The raw file URL acts as a URL with fields to be substituted. If <revision> exists in the URL, it will be replaced with the revision of the file. If <filename> exists, it will be replaced with the filename. This also adds a GitHub hosting service and bug tracker to the Repository admin. Using this, it's trivial to add any GitHub project without knowing the raw file URL mask.
Added Djblets from GitHub on my local install and generated a diff against it. It found the files and showed them in the diff viewer correctly.
