Thanks for the link. I wasn't aware of that package. I see that I have a conflict in syntax as I used double colon for indicating the git repo while org-git-link.el used double colon for search pattern. Thus to join the packages I need to change the syntax. Which of the following would make more sense:

   git:@repo:file-in-repo::pattern-in-file
   git://repo/file-in-repo::pattern-in-file

or perhaps some other syntax? Suggestions?

Regards,
Dov

Nice.

Can you try to merge these features with contrib/lisp/org-git-link.el
from the current repo?

Thanks!
