What steps will reproduce the problem?(1) View code in https://chromium.googlesource.com(2) Click 'View in', 'Git'
What is the expected result?
Viewing most recent files in Git. URLs use master branch.
What happens instead?
URLs in gitile use a hash to a specific version, will become out of date.
This will help when navigating code and sharing links. E.g. sharing links to documentation, or a class. I believe it is less common to need to share a URL to a pinned specific version, and when necessary folks will do that by viewing a git history from gitiles.
Note that internal search uses head, not pinned hashes.
