Dear diary, on Tue, Oct 17, 2006 at 05:06:55PM CEST, I got a letter

Greater flexibility, you can "provide this great Git addon that will
let you push over FTP" without requiring users to patch their Git
installations or wait for new Git version that might include it.
Especially important if you want a lot of users test out your
experimental feature or if it's something project-specific etc.

BTW, I'm thinking about implementing some plugin functionality for
gitweb so that you can add your own views, so that git-browser can
integrate to it more reasonably. (Currently it has completely different
UI and you have to patch gitweb in order to get the proper links at
proper places.) Sure, git-browser might get fully integrated to gitweb
later but that needs to be done sensitively so that people are not
scared by the horrible javascript blobs, etc.; currently git-browser is
very experimental, and adding it would be quite intrusive.
