Re: [TDF infra] Announcing Gitiles VCS browser (gitweb replacement) and https:// anon git URIs

Could you please change the Commit Notification bot back to cgit? 

In the 6 months, that I have been testing gitiles, I have found no advantages and many 
disadvantages over cgit. In general, it presents information in an inferior way and it’s URL’s have 
led to multiple copy  and paste errors, causing delays in work when the errors were missed.

In his last email, Mike explains how the gitiles timestamps lead to confusion. This is a serious 
problem for my use case. The other major problem, are the random symbols like “^!” appended to the 
ends of commit IDs in URLs. I’ve been copy and pasting commit IDs from cgit for years and never 
once had a problem. With gitiles, it happens regularly despite me being aware.

When I asked for feedback on the IRC dev channel, no one voiced preference for gitiles. I only 
heard agreement that the URLs and log format are inferior to cgit's.
