Embedding a Specific Gist File is Broken
Raw
embedding-gist-file-broken.md

It seems embedding a specific file from a Gist recently broke. Example: https://gist.github.com/4490679.js?file=browser-sniffing.js now embeds all files from the gist instead of just the browser-sniffing.js file. Unfortunately, this breaks a lot of my blog posts.

The URL seems to have changed slightly to include the GitHub username in the URL to support embedding one file like https://gist.github.com/elijahmanor/4490679.js?file=browser-sniffing.js

I was able to update some of my posts, but I hope GitHub will support both ways. Was this behavior change an accident or on purpose? Anyone know?

Are there plans to add backwards compatibility? Where would I post this as a bug?
