Dear John,

thanks for comments and tips.

Not a problem, I'll can add config value into v3.

You're right, a, b and c are clickable going to "itself".

You're right, I just tested it with "scan-path".

I'm testing it with this config:

----
css=/cgit-css/cgit.css
logo=/cgit-css/cgit.png

scan-path=/var/lib/git-testing/tmp/for-cgit/

repo.url=MyRepo
repo.path=/var/lib/git/MyRepo
repo.desc=This is my git repository

repo.url=section/subsection/myrepo1
repo.path=/var/lib/git-testing2/section/subsection/myrepo1
repo.desc=This is my git repository

repo.url=section/subsection/myrepo2
repo.path=/var/lib/git-testing2/section/subsection/myrepo2
repo.desc=This is my git repository

repo.url=section/subsection/myrepo3
repo.name=section/subsection/myrepo3
repo.path=/var/lib/git-testing2/section/subsection/myrepo3
repo.desc=This is my git repository
----

You right, it's broken is when I set repo.url and repo.name (e.g.
section/subsection/myrepo3) - all links point to repo.url; working if I set just repo.url.

Is it really the best way from UI/UX POV? Inconsistency isn't nice :-(. I'd like to try
to have this feature either on or off for each repository.


Kind regards,
Petr
