local version of repository-{type,url,branch,dir}

[gmabey]

I have been using the repository-{type,url,branch,dir} options very nicely.
Now I'm in a mode where I'm generating HTML, zipping it up, and distributing it (off-line) to others.
All of this works great, but I wish the source links could work in this case (the repo isn't publicly accessible).
If there was a new option local-proto-dir that the source links pointed to, that would be awesome: my script that invokes sabledocs would just copy the .protos into that dir (underneath the output-dir directory) before zipping up the whole thing.

@gmabey I'll look into this, it doesn't seem tricky to add this feature, one limitation though is that I don't think we'd be able to link to a certain line number. So the link in the anchor would be something like

<a href="/protos/foo.proto">...</a>

which would translate to something like file:///C:/SomeFolder/protos/foo.proto when opening the HTML locally. And I don't think there is a way to open the raw proto file in the browser at a specific line number. Do you see it the same way?

[gmabey]

Yes, I do see it that very same way and I appreciate you considering this feature.
