Most of what is in gitweb.txt it has been pulled directly from the
README and INSTALL files of gitweb.
Current version is somewhat based on structure of SVN::Web manpage
(one of web interfaces for Subversion).
gitweb.conf(5) i.e. gitweb configuration manpage now refers to
appropriate sections in gitweb(1). gitweb/README now refers to
gitweb/INSTALL and gitweb(1) manpage. gitweb/INSTALL now refers to
gitweb.conf(5) and gitweb(1).

Much of what is in gitweb.conf.txt has been pulled directly from the
README file of gitweb. The manpage was supplemented with description
of missing gitweb config variables, and with description of gitweb's
%features.
There remains a bit of redundancy, which should be reduced if
possible... but I think some of duplication of information is
inevitable.

Because of backward compatibility we cannot change gitweb to always
use /etc/gitweb.conf (i.e. even if gitweb_config.perl exists). For
common system-wide settings we therefore need separate configuration
file: /etc/gitweb-common.conf.
Long description:
gitweb currently obtains configuration from the following sources:
1. per-instance configuration file (default: gitweb_conf.perl)
2. system-wide configuration file (default: /etc/gitweb.conf)
If per-instance configuration file exists, then system-wide
configuration is _not used at all_. This is quite untypical and
suprising behavior.
Moreover it is different from way git itself treats /etc/git.conf. It
reads in stuff from /etc/git.conf and then local repos can change or
override things as needed. In fact this is quite beneficial, because
it gives site admins a simple and easy way to give an automatic hint
to a repo about things the admin would like.
On the other hand changing current behavior may lead to the situation,
where something in /etc/gitweb.conf may interfere with unintended
interaction in the local repository. One solution would be to
_require_ to do explicit include; with read_config_file() it is now
easy, as described in gitweb/README (description introduced in this
commit).
But as J.H. noticed we cannot ask people to modify their per-instance
gitweb config file to include system-wide settings, nor we can require
them to do this.
Therefore, as proposed by Junio, for gitweb to have centralized config
elements while retaining backwards compatibility, introduce separate
common system-wide configuration file, by default /etc/gitweb-common.conf

This adds the $projects_list_group_categories option which, if enabled,
will result in grouping projects by category on the project list page.
The category is specified for each project by the $GIT_DIR/category file
or the 'gitweb.category' variable in its configuration file. By default,
projects are put in the $project_list_default_category category.
Note:
- Categories are always sorted alphabetically, with projects in
each category sorted according to the globally selected $order.
- When displaying a subset of all the projects (page limiting), the
category headers are only displayed for projects present on the page.
The feature is inspired from Sham Chukoury's patch for the XMMS2
gitweb, but has been rewritten for the current gitweb code. The CSS
for categories is inspired from Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri's patch to
group projects by path.
Thanks to Florian Ragwitz for Perl tips.

added very basic test in t9500 that there are no warnings from Perl.]

I found that some doubled words had snuck back into projects from which
I'd already removed them, so now there's a "syntax-check" makefile rule in
gnulib to help prevent recurrence.
Running the command below spotted a few in git, too:
git ls-files | xargs perl -0777 -n \
-e 'while (/\b(then?|[iao]n|i[fst]|but|f?or|at|and|[dt])\s+\1\b/gims)' \
-e '{$n=($` =~ tr/\n/\n/ + 1); ($v=$&)=~s/\n/\\n/g;' \
-e 'print "$ARGV:$n:$v\n"}'

Allow selecting whether configuration file should be (re)parsed on each
request (the default, for backward compatibility with configurations that
change per session, see commit 7f425db (gitweb: allow configurations that
change with each request, 2010-07-30)), or whether should it be parsed only
once (for performance speedup for persistent environments, though currently
only FastCGI is able to make use of it, when flexibility is not important).
You can also have configuration file parsed only once, but have parts of
configuration (re)evaluated once per each request.
This is done by introducing $per_request_config variable: if set to code
reference, this code would be run once per request, while config file would
be parsed only once. For example gitolite's contrib/gitweb/gitweb.conf
fragment mentioned in 7f425db could be rewritten as
our $per_request_config = sub {
$ENV{GL_USER} = ($cgi && $cgi->remote_user) || "gitweb";
};
to make use of this feature.
If $per_request_config is not a code reference, it is taken to be boolean
variable, to choose between running config file for each request
(flexibility), and running config file only once (performance in
persistent environments).
The default value for $per_request_config is 1 (true), which means that
old configuration that require to change per session (like gitolite's)
will keep working.
While at it, make it so evaluate_git_version() is run only once.

styles, images and Javascript code. This should make gitweb more

The build system added support minifying gitweb.js through a
JavaScript minifier, but most minifiers come with support for
minifying CSS files as well, so we should use it if we can.
This patch will add the same facilities to gitweb.css that
gitweb.js has for minification. That does not mean that they
will use the same minifier though, as it is not safe to assume
that all JavaScript minifiers will also minify CSS files.
This patch also adds the GITWEB_PROGRAMS variable to the Makefile
to keep a list of potential gitweb dependencies separate from
OTHER_PROGRAMS when we need to know just the gitweb dependencies.
Though the bandwidth savings will not be as dramatic as with
the JavaScript minifier, every byte saved is important.

This changes slightly the behavior of gitweb, so that it verifies
that the box isn't inundated with before attempting to serve gitweb.
If the box is overloaded, it basically returns a 503 Server Unavailable
until the load falls below the defined threshold. This helps dramatically
if you have a box that's I/O bound, reaches a certain load and you
don't want gitweb, the I/O hog that it is, increasing the pain the
server is already undergoing.
This behavior is controlled by $maxload configuration variable.
Default is a load of 300, which for most cases should never be hit.
Unset it (set it to undefined value, i.e. undef) to turn off checking.
Currently it requires that '/proc/loadavg' file exists, otherwise the
load check is bypassed (load is taken to be 0). So platforms that do
not implement '/proc/loadavg' currently cannot use this feature
(provisions are included for additional checks to be added by others).
There is simple test in t/t9501-gitweb-standalone-http-status.sh to
check that it correctly returns "503 Service Unavailable" if load is
too high, and also if there are any Perl warnings or errors.

Add 'blame_incremental' view, which uses "git blame --incremental"
and JavaScript (Ajax), where 'blame' use "git blame --porcelain".
* gitweb generates initial info by putting file contents (from
"git cat-file") together with line numbers in blame table
* then gitweb makes web browser JavaScript engine call startBlame()
function from gitweb.js
* startBlame() opens XMLHttpRequest connection to 'blame_data' view,
which in turn calls "git blame --incremental" for a file, and
streams output of git-blame to JavaScript (gitweb.js)
* XMLHttpRequest event handler updates line info in blame view as soon
as it gets data from 'blame_data' (from server), and it also updates
progress info
* when 'blame_data' ends, and gitweb.js finishes updating line info,
it fixes colors to match (as far as possible) ordinary 'blame' view,
and updates information about how long it took to generate page.
Gitweb deals with streamed 'blame_data' server errors by displaying
them in the progress info area (just in case).
The 'blame_incremental' view tries to be equivalent to 'blame' action;
there are however a few differences in output between 'blame' and
'blame_incremental' view:
* 'blame_incremental' always used query form for this part of link(s)
which is generated by JavaScript code. The difference is visible
if we use path_info link (pass some or all arguments in path_info).
Changing this would require implementing something akin to href()
subroutine from gitweb.perl in JavaScript (in gitweb.js).
* 'blame_incremental' always uses "rowspan" attribute, even if
rowspan="1". This simplifies code, and is not visible to user.
* The progress bar and progress info are still there even after
JavaScript part of 'blame_incremental' finishes work.
Note that currently no link generated by gitweb leads to this new view.
This code is based on patch by Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> patch, which
in turn was tweaked up version of Fredrik Kuivinen <frekui@gmail.com>'s
proof of concept patch.
This patch adds GITWEB_JS compile configuration option, and modifies
git-instaweb.sh to take gitweb.js into account. The code for
git-instaweb.sh was taken from Pasky's patch.

When combining "dumb client" and human-friendly access by using the
'.git' extension to switch between the two, make sure the AliasMatch
covers the entire request. Without a full match, a request for
http://git.example.com/project/shortlog/branch..gitsomething
would result in a 404 because the server would try to access the
the project 'project/shortlog/branch.'
The solution is still not bulletproof, so document the possible failing
case.

Add a gitweb configuration variable $prevent_xss that disables features
to prevent content in repositories from launching cross-site scripting
(XSS) attacks in the gitweb domain. Currently, this option makes gitweb
ignore README.html (a better solution may be worked out in the future)
and serve a blob_plain file of an untrusted type with
"Content-Disposition: attachment", which tells the browser not to show
the file at its original URL.
The XSS prevention is currently off by default.

From a distribution point of view, configuration files for applications
should reside in /etc/. On the other hand it's convenient for multiple
instances of gitweb (e.g. virtual web servers on a single machine) to have
a per-instance configuration file, just as gitweb currently supports
through the file gitweb_config.perl next to the cgi.
To support both at runtime, this commit introduces GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM as
a system-wide configuration file which will be used as a fallback if the
config file sprecified throug GITWEB_CONFIG does not exist.

Allow to use configuration variable gitweb.owner set the repository owner,
it checks the gitweb.owner, if not set it uses filesystem directory's owner.
Useful when we don't want to maintain project list file, and all

same SSH account is shared for all projects, using ssh_acl to control
access instead).

With this patch it is possible to use gitweb.perl for developing by
loading the configuration from $GITWEB_CONFIG. This might also be
useful for normal usage of gitweb.
Example:
% cat cfg
$GIT = '/usr/bin/git';
$projectroot = '/home/matled/src/git';
$projects_list = '/home/matled/src/git/git/gitweb/list';
% cat run
#!/bin/sh
export GATEWAY_INTERFACE="CGI/1.1"
export HTTP_ACCEPT="*/*"
export REQUEST_METHOD="GET"
export GITWEB_CONFIG='./cfg'
export QUERY_STRING=""$1""
exec ./gitweb.perl
% time ./run p=git/.git > /dev/null
This makes it easy to check for warnings and do performance tests
after changes, you can also pipe this to lynx -dump -force-html
/dev/stdin to get more than just html.
This also documents the original patch adding require $GITWEB_CONFIG.
