After some back and forth with Jamie and René, it looks like the git config semantics are going to be like this: - gitweb.category maps to the cgit repo config key "section" - gitweb.description maps to the cgit repo config key "desc" - gitweb.owner maps to the cgit repo config key "owner" - cgit.* maps to all cgit repo config keys This option can be enabled with "enable-git-config=1", and replaces all previous "enable-gitweb-*" config keys. The order of operations is as follows: - git config settings are applied in the order that they exist in the git config file - if the owner is not set from git config, get the owner using the usual getpwuid call - if the description is not set from git config, look inside the static $path/description file - if section-from-path=1, override whatever previous settings were inside of git config using the section-from-path logic - parse $path/cgitrc for local repo.* settings, that override all previous settings |

cgit - cgi for git
This is an attempt to create a fast web interface for the git scm, using a
builtin cache to decrease server io-pressure.
Installation
Building cgit involves building a proper version of git. How to do this
depends on how you obtained the cgit sources:
a) If you're working in a cloned cgit repository, you first need to
initialize and update the git submodule:
$ git submodule init # register the git submodule in .git/config
$ $EDITOR .git/config # if you want to specify a different url for git
$ git submodule update # clone/fetch and checkout correct git version
b) If you're building from a cgit tarball, you can download a proper git
version like this:
$ make get-git
When either a) or b) has been performed, you can build and install cgit like
this:
$ make
$ sudo make install
This will install cgit.cgi and cgit.css into "/var/www/htdocs/cgit". You can
configure this location (and a few other things) by providing a "cgit.conf"
file (see the Makefile for details).
Dependencies:
-git 1.7.4
-zip lib
-crypto lib
-openssl lib
Apache configuration
A new Directory-section must probably be added for cgit, possibly something
like this:
<Directory "/var/www/htdocs/cgit/">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Runtime configuration
The file /etc/cgitrc is read by cgit before handling a request. In addition
to runtime parameters, this file may also contain a list of repositories
displayed by cgit (see cgitrc.5.txt for further details).
The cache
When cgit is invoked it looks for a cachefile matching the request and
returns it to the client. If no such cachefile exist (or if it has expired),
the content for the request is written into the proper cachefile before the
file is returned.
If the cachefile has expired but cgit is unable to obtain a lock for it, the
stale cachefile is returned to the client. This is done to favour page
throughput over page freshness.
The generated content contains the complete response to the client, including
the http-headers "Modified" and "Expires".
