Hi,

For most scenarios, I would just pull a complete package repo. My main
use of the web interface is often research and the quick viewing of a
specific file e.g. looking at spec files for changes and how I may clean
up the way I do things / keep to current convention.

For now I will just bypass the navigation and just do:

https://git.centos.org/summary/!!!!!!rpms!<package_name_I_want>.git

to view a specific repos.

Regards

Phil
