Jakub,
For binary only files, there is no HTML interface to refer to, such that, hb=HEAD for _binary_ only files. Unless of course one types that on the URL line manually.
That is, I'd like to externally reference binary only blobs at "HEAD", s.t. no matter _when_ the reference is used, it would refer to the latest "version" of that file.
E.g. a PDF spec file.
My recent patches on the subject enable this capability.
