apache mod_rewrite rules

[lachie]

Hi,
I've finally got gitorious running well at work (Thanks for the code!)

When I click around in the source tree or a repo a level or two down I
get to urls like
http://git.rsp.com.au/projects/ts2/repos/mainline/trees/master/config%2Fenvironments
(notice the escaped slash %2F)

I also noticed that the same thing happens on the main gitorious site.

On my instance, a 404 results, but at gitorious.com, the file is
shown.

I'm guessing that its something to do with the mod_rewrite rules I
have.

Does that sound right? Or am I barking up the wrong tree altogether?
Would you be able to post the rewrite rules for gitorious.com?

Cheers,
Lachie

Hmm, it really shouldn't escape that one, I'll look into it later today

Gitorious uses nginx as the proxy server, so the only rewrite rules
are "send everything that isn't a file on the filesystem to the proxy
backend".

How does your apache directives look like?

I got same problem. Since I have little knowledge about rails, I have
to write a greasemonkey script to unescape slash.

I read apache doc about mod_rewrite. It says that url will be
unescaped before matching rewrite rule. I don't known nginx. It
might have similar behavior.
