Subject: Autodiscovery of git repositories from HTML
Message-ID: <20091027130000.GX30085@Dorothy.plexq.com>

I have a web page which lives in a git repository so that it can be 
easily mirrored.  I would like to use a "rel" link to the URL of the git 
repository so that it can be automatically discovered, like an RSS feed:

<link rel="alternate" type="???" href="http://example.com/.git"/>

Is there any existing convention as to what the type should be?
Note that this isn't necessarily the same question as what a git 
repository should be served as over HTTP: the Universal Edit Button uses 
a dummy MIME type of "application/x-wiki".

Thomas
