...which is bad?

I don't see the value in session management; making the URL contain less
information is not _good_, it is _very_ _bad_, since you can't use the
Uniform Resource Locator to locate resources anymore.

Introduction of templating would mean huge changes (not only addition of
the templater) for seemingly no warranted reason. I mean, if we were to
start writing gitweb from scratch, perhaps a templater engine *might*
warrant some consideration, but I don't see any itch we want to scratch
by introducing templating now. And no connectoin with the project at
hand.

I don't understand, can you elaborate?

And just passes through its plaintext output? Well, I suppose that could
do for starters.

Could you clarify your attitude to the support for mode without checked
out working copy, using just the index, that we are discussing with
Jakub and I already mentioned to you in the past?
