Browsing files at a specific commit

This might complicate things, especially with regards to the output size (of generated files), but one feature that I use rather often on GitHub (also GitLab and Gitea) is browsing the files at a specific commit.

For example, here are the files browsed at 820a85c commit (8.8.0 tag) of zx repository here on GitHub. With gitmal, however, one can "only" see a commit diff.

Not sure how many people would need that functionality though, so it might not be worth the effort of implementing this (and blowing up the size of generated bundle).

Well. This will generate a ton of files.

For servers this is fine. But for static files, it will generate way too many files. I can add a flag to generate such “views”. But this flag makes sense only for small repos.

It might be okay if you deduplicate by the blob hash of the file, for small-medium sized repos

Although it is possible, i think is way to much out of scope.

Generating blob per tags is feasible.
