Well, usher does not need a path / server name to serve different
databases, it can work based on branch patterns and host names as well,
thats why the error message isn't pointing you to the missing path. Its
just a convention for our project that we enforce the usage of a path in
the URL because our usher instance is configured to only work with a
proper server name.

Click on the appropriate project and click on "Source" - you see all the
available branches on the left. I made this more clear in the blog. I
know the branches are shortened and rather hard to read, but the full
branch name is set as title, so if you hover over them, they should be
readable. I hope the new IDF layout which comes in fall improves the
general situation here.

I'll answer the other thing in a separate mail - separate topic :)

Thomas.
