I vaguely remember we had different points of view on cgit vs gitweb user experience before, but in this case of blob_plain requests there is obviously no difference except that cgit is usually faster. Given that these blob_plain requests are often go into scripts, I think we should prefer cgit over gitweb for this type of URLs. > But the use in such scripts also encourages users to use similar URLs to > access to git repository. Here, gitweb is more human-friendly than cgit. We have plenty of gitweb URLs in users.txt to give users a different perspective. -- ldv
