I am sorry if I am not being clear on this.
I do not need another protocol handler. (I have actually thought
about doing something like this, but it will not work.) What I do
need is someway to pass an http:// URL into the "TortoiseProc
/command:repobrowser" command from a web link. The only way to do
this is to change the code for the TortoiseProc command. Which I
could probably do and then recompile my own version, but it would be
nice if this was put into the official version.
The problem is that when a svn:// link is clicked on the entire URL is
passed to the application. This makes it impossible to start the
RepoBrowser pointing to a http:// URL. So, even if I did create a new
protocol handler it would be passed in the URL also and I would have
the same problem.
There needs to be some way to parse a http:// URL out of the path that
is sent to the RepoBrowser command in TortoiseProc. Since a http://
URL works using "TortoiseProc /command:checkout"
(tsvn:http://myserver.com/repo/trunk) it would make sense that it
should also work in pretty much the same way with the "TortoiseProc
/command:repobrowser" (svn:http://myserver.com/repo/trunk) command.
