[egit-dev] Gerrit URLs

[Alex Blewitt <alex.blewitt@xxxxxxxxx>]

As an observation, the Gerrit URLs have a lot of # in them, rather  
than being a more bookmarkable URL. The only problem I've noticed is  
that some URL shortening services don't capture the # on them.

Is there any reason that Gerrit uses URLs of the form:

http://egit.eclipse.org/r/#patch,sidebyside,38,1,README

instead of:

http://egit.eclipse.org/r/38/1/README#patch,sidebyside

It would seem the latter would be more conducive for caching by end- 
clients and the like, rather than http://egit.eclipse.org/r/ which is  
presumably served with some variant of Cache-Control: no-cache.
