If time-to-live is set to zero, we don't need to regenerate the cache
slots on every request. Instead, just skip the caching process and
immediately provide the dynamically generated version of the page.
Setting time-to-live to zero is useful when you want to disable caching
for certain pages.

This can be used to specify the TTL for snapshots. Snapshots are usually
static and do not ever change. On the other hand, tarball generation is
CPU intensive.
One use case of this setting (apart from increasing the lifetime of
snapshot cache slots) is caching of snapshots while disabling the cache
for static/dynamic HTML pages (by setting TTL to zero for everything
except for snapshot requests).

This leverages the new lua support. See
filters/simple-authentication.lua for explaination of how this works.
There is also additional documentation in cgitrc.5.txt.
Though this is a cookie-based approach, cgit's caching mechanism is
preserved for authenticated pages.
Very plugable and extendable depending on user needs.
The sample script uses an HMAC-SHA1 based cookie to store the
currently logged in user, with an expiration date.

We've long supported negative ttls, for infinite cache, except the
documentation incorrectly showed one of our defaults as being 5 and not
-1. As well, with a negative ttl, we were actually making the HTTP
expired header go backwards. This changes it to go ahead ten years
instead.
Further, we add an cache-about-ttl option to set a different ttl for
about pages, which are now increasingly being filtered through markdown
or just sent statically anyway.

This gives the about-filter API the same semantics as source-filter,
where the filter receives the filename so it can decide what to do next
with it.

When set to "name", branches are sorted by name, which is the current
default. When set to "age", branches are sorted by the age of the
repository.

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
Add two options, one for doing the ordinary name sorts in a
case-insensitive manner, and another for choosing to sort repos in each
section by age instead of by name.
Some setenv() implementations (e.g. the one in OpenBSD's stdlib)
segfault if we pass a NULL value. Only set environment variables if the
corresponding settings are defined to avoid this.
Note that this is a minor behaviour change as environment variables were
supposed to be set to an empty string if a setting was undefined. Given
that this feature isn't part of any official release yet, there's no
need to worry about backwards compatibility, really. Change the
documentation accordingly.

For sites that do not want to configure mime types by hand but
still want the correct mime type for 'plain' blobs, configuring
a mime type file is made possible. This is handy since such a
file is normally already provided (at least on Linux systems).
Also, this reflects the gitweb option '$mimetypes_file'

This is a saner alternative than hardcoding the default branch to be
"master". The add_repo() function will now check for a symbolic ref in
repo_path/HEAD. If there is a suitable one, overwrite repo->defbranch
with it. Note that you'll need to strip the newline from the file (->
len-17).
If HEAD is a symbolic link pointing directly to a branch below
refs/heads/, do a readlink() instead to find the ref name.

The old default value was an abomination which never should have been
allowed to see the light of day.
This patch removes the default, which is a backwards incompatible change
with low probability of causing anyone any real trouble (a repo with
submodules, displayed by cgit using the default value of `module-link`,
is very unlikely to actually generate working links).

The current 'repo.module-link' option is sufficient when all gitlinks
in a repository can be converted to commit links in a uniform way, but
not when different submodules/paths needs different settings.
This patch adds support for 'repo.module-link.<path>', which will be
used for linking to submodules at paths matching one such entry.
