Jeff EplerMany projects use project-specific notations in comments to refer to bug trackers and the like. One example is the "Closes: #nnnnn" notation used in Debian.
Make gitk configurable so that arbitrary strings can be turned into clickable links that are opened in a web browser. --- Some time ago I hardcoded this into gitk for $DAY_JOB and find it very useful. I made it configurable in the hopes that it might be adopted upstream. (unfortunately, the configurable version is radically different from the original hard-coded version, so I can't say this has had much testing yet)
The definition of the allowed regular expression in the docs probably needs some refinement. Basically, they have to also be REs that can be concatenated with the "|" character, which is not true of REs that begin with the *** flavor selector (which I had not heard of before rereading `man re_syntax` just now) or (?xyz) embedded options. Or maybe there's an efficient alternate approach to scanning for the next non-overlapping match among several patterns that doesn't involve concatenating the patterns.
I'm not sure about the "one line" restriction; at first I thought that everything was fed to 'appendwithlinks' in arbitrary chunks, but not I see that they are mostly logical chunks (and probably only the comment, not the headers or commit descriptors, will have anything to linkify). The problem again seems to be how to succinctly describe what is permitted.
There are probably better names for the configuration options, too.
Suggestions? Problems? Successes?
