In practice, some connectors have been using IRepositoryElement.getUrl or AbstractRepositoryConnector.getTaskUrl to reference a stable, non-browseable identifier or URI. Unfortunately the framework will try to surface these identifiers in places such as commit message or task details. There is a need for some connectors to be able to give both a stable URI and browseable URL (whether the latter is stable or not). Unfortunately, AbstractRepositoryConnector.getAutheticatedUrl may not suffice for such a use given that it expects to have authentication information we do not want to include as part of a commit message (ie session token). Therefore, in order to maintain compatibility with existing connectors, I propose adding a 3rd method to AbstractRepositoryConnector, getBrowseableUrl() that returns a true, browseable web URL that contains no authentication information.
