 Replying to [comment:13 mikeperry]:

 > rransom: Why don't you want gitweb to serve HTML? No one logs into it,
 right?

 Gitweb is intended to not serve files as HTML, because it is sometimes
 used to host partially trusted or untrusted repositories.

 I don't have much of a problem with gitweb.tpo being reconfigured to serve
 files as HTML, but at a minimum, someone would have to reconfigure it.  It
 may even require patching Gitweb.

 > I think I'd rather use git if at all possible, so we can more easily
 accept and merge people's patches and track the tests themselves. Using
 gitweb cuts out having to copy updates from git over to commit them in
 svn.

 Subversion has the advantage that anyone who can commit to a repo can
 automatically specify files' MIME types, without having to ask an admin to
 hack up Gitweb or its configuration.

 > More importantly, it also means user branches of the TBB tests can be
 directly tested from their remotes without those users needing to create
 their own servers.

 Only if those ‘user branches’ are hosted on gitweb.tpo or another
 specially reconfigured Gitweb installation.


 I still think you're stuck with hidden services.
