Thanks for your suggestion Bast= ien, but unfortunately it does not directly map to the shortcut that I impl= emented in my package. In my *old* syntax:

=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 git:re= po::file.txt

file.txt is a search pattern for a *file* with in the symbolic repo &qu= ot;repo" which maps to a real repo through the hash variable my-org-re= pos. The whole idea was that I wanted to be able to use the symbolic name a= s a shortcut. In addition file.txt is not the path of a file in the repo, b= ut a search pattern for a file in the repo. In case of duplicates the user = is prompted to interactively resolve the file. In addition I would also lik= e to add a search pattern for a string in the file.

My problem is how to merge this syntax with the org-git-link.el which u= ses the syntax 
git:/home/user/repo/data/results.=
png::nobelprize
<=
/span>
where /home/.../results.png is the name of the p= ath to a file and nobelprize is the name of a tag.

Both my linking a= nd the org-git-linking are two different equally valid use cases. My proble= m is how to merge both these use cases under a single syntax.

Dov

The double colon is standard in Org for indicating the search pattern= ,
please use it this way too.

git:[user@?][repo-server]:[git-repo-itself]::[search-pattern]

When user is set, the repo-server URL won't have a protocol
(git will be used by default as a protocol.)

When user is not set, the repo-server may contain git:// or
http:// as the protocol.

But I didn't test your packing, so I'm maybe shooting in the
dark for this syntax suggestion.

HTH,
