Hello all,

I prepared a bunch of patches to add support to some other browsers to
git-web--browse (opera, seamonkey, elinks). Currently I did one patch
per browser. Should I squash them all together? (The series will also
contain some other patches that will stay separate.)

Yeah, I'd squash them.  (But I think either way would be fine.)

Could you support

	[browser "chromium-browser"]
		cmd=chromium-browser

while at it? :)

Actually I think that in this case the 'chromimu' configuration should
look for chromium-browser if chromium is not found.

Even better might be to go straight for chromium-browser, to avoid
confusion with ancient versions of chromium-bsu.

Anyway, I hadn't noticed the new support for chromium.  Thanks for
pointing it out.

More precisely, we should look for chromium-browser first, and if not
found then use chromium. The fall-back to chromium is, I think, needed
because I suspect the binary was renamed in Debian only. Can somebody
with some other distribution confirm that chromium is called chromium
there?
