is there a standard/conventional way of describing the location of a file *within* a git repository? like git@github.com:mcclure/somerepo:directory/file.txt or something? i find myself needing to specify this in a config file, but it would be better to do it a "standard" way
Unfortunately I'm not aware of any good solution. Note that git-request-pull has a related problem that it just has to specify the revision as a separate field, separated by a space, rather than part of the url.
