Features: - update to git v1.8.3. - expanded set of default filters to include markdown, restructuredtext, and man pages. - better sample configuration file in man page. - "readme" may now be specified multiple times, and cgit will choose the first one it finds. - "readme" no longer needs a branch name. If prefixed with simply ":" it will use the default branch. - "branch-sort" allowing branches to be sorted either by "age" or "name", for kernel.org. - "enable-index-owner" allowing the owner column to be disabled in the index page. - print submodule revision next to submodule link. - integrate more closely with git apis, such as strbuf. - rely on git test harness and git makefiles. - more robust test suite. - more rebust makefile dependency accounting. - pager navigation is now unordered list. - span tag wraps commit directions. Behavior changes: - HOME is no longer passed as an environment variable to any filter api scripts. - "about-filter" now receives the filename being filtered as argv[1]. This may disrupt existing scripts, so adjust accordingly. - gitconfig and gitattributes are no longer loaded from any system directories or home directories. Security: - CVE-2013-2117: disallow directory traversal when readme is set to filesystem path. Bug fixes: - ssdiff now correctly manages tab expansion. - support unannotated tags in http git clone. - lots of cleanups of global variables and memory leaks. - do not rely on gettext/libintl. - better C standard compliance. - make several functions and variables static. - improved constification. - remove unused functions. - fix colspan values to correct width. - fix out-of-bounds memory accesses with virtual_root="". - cache repo config more precisely. - die when write fails.

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".
