Thanks.

Will look into this.

My initial idea is to use:

  a-repo/<branches>/<commits>/<diffs>

Most of the git web interfaces return HTML. I was hoping that if they
returned XML, it would be consistent, and simpler to parse (libnxml)
them and use it. cgit, for example, uses a html() method to write HTML
content.

Some web interfaces provide RSS/Atom, but, that is only for the
top-level commits. There are some Ruby on Rails git projects that
return plain text for diffs, which is good.

Regards,

SK
