cgit - cgi for git  This is an attempt to create a fast web interface for the git scm, using abuiltin cache to decrease server io-pressure.  Installation   $ make  $ su  $ make install This will install cgit.cgi and cgit.css into "/var/www/htdocs/cgit". Note: The initial "make" will create a submodule 'git' and clone the gitrepository at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git in it. If youalready have a local git git repository that you want to use as originfor the submodule, run   $ git clone -s <path-to-git-repo> git  $ ./submodules.sh -u before running "make".  Dependencies   -git (1.5.2-rc0 or newer, due to git submodule) installed  -zip lib  -crypto lib  -openssl lib  Apache configuration A new Directory-section must probably be added for cgit, possibly somethinglike 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 additionto runtime parameters, this file also contains a list of the repositoriesdisplayed by cgit. A template cgitrc is shipped with the sources, and all parameters and defaultvalues are documented in this file.  The cache When cgit is invoked it looks for a cachefile matching the request andreturns 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 thefile is returned. If the cachefile has expired but cgit is unable to obtain a lock for it, thestale cachefile is returned to the client. This is done to favour pagethroughput over page freshness. The generated content contains the complete response to the client, includingthe http-headers "Modified" and "Expires".  The mis(sing) features Submodule links in the directory listing page have a fixed format perrepository. This should probably be extended to a generic map betweensubmodule path and url.  The end.
