gitiles feature discovery

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be great if there was a doc that listed how gitiles URLs worked.
E.g.
- ?format=TEXT for base64-encoded file download
- ?n= and ?s= for log number/start offset
- the ultimate resolution to issue 26 (filter by author, others)
- other awesome gitiles features I don't even know about because they're not 
documented :)

I agree, we totally need documentation of the URL structure and JSON formats. 

I remember reading not too long ago about a kind-of-standard way of describing 
URL formats using placeholders that you present in a JSON endpoint but I can't 
for the life of me remember what it's called.

Chromium has a "Gitiles Tricks" page with APIs that people find useful / ask 
about a lot: http://www.chromium.org/developers/change-logs
