One which I'm looking at doing is supporting reading the "README.html" from the tree indicated by the current HEAD instead of reading it from a file in the .git directory.

This should make tracking and updating such READMEs a little easier as all that'll be required is a "push" to advance the HEAD and the new README goes live.

Obviously, will have to make this optional and configurable. I'm thinking of providing a means of specifying the filename to look for (no filename, the default, means don't look), and also a setting to indicate the content type of the file (either plain text, which would be wrapped in a <pre></pre> block with HTML entities used where appropriate, or HTML which would be included verbatim).

Cheers, Wincent
