notes on gitweb editing

can you start a gitweb page linked from the git wiki page, describing how one would go about editing documentation for a code project within gitweb? Examples would be most helpful. Sj talk 20:05, 28 August 2007 (EDT)

• I don't know what to write on such a page: since gitweb doesn't provide an editor interface, the appropriate procedure to make a change to the transcluded content is to check out the cited git repo, modify the file, and submit the changes to the owner of the upstream repo by email or by publishing your clone and asking upstream to pull from you. --Ashsong 13:37, 29 August 2007 (EDT)

how can we tell what the revision # of the doc being transcluded is, and when it was last edited? that would be most useful to filter up to the wiki page. Sj talk 20:32, 28 August 2007 (EDT)

• This is quite easy to do; we just include a link to the doc's history page. To get to the history page for a doc instead of the raw contents of the doc, change the a=blob_plain; argument of the url to a=history;. For the record, a=commitdiff; also provides an interesting view. --Ashsong 13:37, 29 August 2007 (EDT)
