Git down!

Here's how I've arranged my browser to look at the official PostgreSQL git repository. I just put the hash in and go.

First, I added the LocationMorph plugin to Firefox.

Next, I added a simple rule:
Pattern: ^([0-9a-f]{40})$

Replacement: http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=$1
Save the rule, restart Firefox, and from now on, putting a SHA1 hash in the location bar brings up the corresponding commitdiff in the PostgreSQL repository.

Enjoy!

You don't need plugins for it, as long as you're OK with typing two characters more.

For example: "p ......."

The way to do it, is to use "keywords" for bookmarks. I described how to do it some time ago in http://www.depesz.com/2007/09/26/easy-access-to-postgresql-documentation-from-firefox/

The cool things is that when using this method you wouldn't need whole hash, just beginning - like with normal git command line.
