navigation links in repository view do not respect branch or tag context

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open the commit log of a branch (not the default one) of a repository (i.e. 
https://dev.gitblit.com/log/gitblit.git/refs!heads!develop)
2. In the navigation bar switch to "tree" tab

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
What I expect: tree view of the current branch I am looking at (i.e. tree of 
branch "develop": https://dev.gitblit.com/tree/gitblit.git/refs!heads!develop)
What I get: tree view of default branch (i.e. 
https://dev.gitblit.com/tree/gitblit.git)

This relates to most of the links in the navigation bar of a repository. In my 
opinion "commits", "tree", "documentation" links should refer to the current 
branch.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.6.0; debian 7.0

Please provide any additional information below.
This is a controversial issue as there seems to be a concept behind the 
navigation rules. Some more information is probably needed for the context of 
the links in the navigation bar, say i.e. some hint in a mouseover to which 
"branch / tag / ref" you are switching by clicking a link button. Maybe an 
additional info box, showing the current branch, tag or ref one is surfing, 
should be added to the repository views.

there is a patch suggesting the change proposed here (needs confirmation)

The patch for the ref preservation makes some unnecessary changes and - like 
the wildcard patch - is clustered with completely unrelated changes.

I agree that the tree, commits, and docs links could/should preserve the ref.

Fix merged to master.

The current commit id will be respected & preserved in the "commits", "tree", 
and "docs" links *if* the id resolves to a branch or tag.  If the commit id 
does not resolve to a branch or tag, then the id is ignored and those links 
will resolve to the default branch; same as before.
