Gitweb is a Git repository web interface.

GitWeb is a Git repository web interface.

Using GitWeb you can browse directory trees at arbitrary revisions, view contents of files (blobs), see log or shortlog of a given branch, examine commits, commit messages and changes made by a given commit. GitWeb can generate feeds in RSS or Atom format. You can get any given version of a file; if not disabled you can download a snapshot of a given version of a project (project tree at given revision). You can search (if it is not disabled) for commits by an author, added to repository by a comitter, commit with commit message (commit description) which includes some text.

Can gitweb RSS feed show tags as well?

I use the gitweb RSS feed a lot for my remote repositories but it only shows me commits. Is there a way to get creation of tag objects into the feed as well? (I'm currently using 1.6.3.3 for the remote repositories.) Cheers.

How can I view branches other than master in gitweb?

I'd like to be able to see changes I've made to a file in a branch other than master. Is there a way to do this? Additionally it would be really nice if I could diff between the heads of multiple branches, eg MyBranch's HEAD and master's HEAD.
