Donenfeld [2012-11-01 05:24]: > What's the use case of this? Why not do completely without suffixes? > Not many folks like suffixes anywhere ever. Without suffixes in the URL, there's a name clash if you have a subdirectory "A" as well as "A.git". Take for example a repository "exim.git" and "exim/exim-helpers.git", "exim/config.git". What should http://cgit-server/exim display? -> Don't display suffixes, but use them in the URL do avoid ambiguity in a case like the one mentioned. Julius
