The type used to declare the st_size field of a 'struct stat' can
be a 32- or 64-bit sized type, which can vary from one platform to
another, or even from one compilation to another. In particular,
on linux, if you include the following define:
#define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64
prior to including certain system header files, then the type used
for the st_size field will be __off64_t, otherwise it will be an
__off_t. Note that the above define is included at the top of
git-compat-util.h.
In cache.c, the "%zd" format specifier expects a "signed size_t",
another type which can vary, when an __off64_t or a __off_t is
provided. To supress the warning, use the PRIuMAX format specifier
and cast the st_size field to uintmax_t. This should work an any
platform for which git currently compiles.
In ui-plain.c, the size parameter of sha1_object_info() and
read_sha1_file() is defined to be "unsigned long *" not "size_t *".
So, to supress the warning, simply declare size with the correct type.

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 1.5.3
-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 also contains a list of the repositories
displayed by cgit.
A template cgitrc is shipped with the sources, and all parameters and default
values are documented in this file.
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".
The missing features
* Submodule links in the directory listing page have a fixed format per
repository. This should probably be extended to a generic map between
submodule path and url.
* Branch- and tag-lists in the summary page can get very long, they should
probably only show something like the ten "latest modified" branches and
a similar number of "most recent" tags.
* There should be a new page for browsing refs/heads and refs/tags, with links
from the summary page whenever the branch/tag lists overflow.
* The log-page should have more/better search options (author, committer,
pickaxe, paths) and possibly support arbitrary revision specifiers.
* A set of test-scripts is required before cgit-1.0 can be released.
