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.

An optional -action_extra parameter is given to git_header_html() to

this can be used to specify that the remotes view is being used for a

Eli Barzilay noticed that

link goes to 'shortlog' view, while 'commit' view would be more
useful, but that 'shortlog' action is more apropriate for
http://server/gitweb/project/<commit-sha1>..<other-commit-sha1>
links.
Therefore for the case when we don't have either action, or filename,
or parent hash [base] in path_info-based URL, i.e. for
http://server/gitweb/project/<object-id>
link, instead of using 'shortlog' view we allow dispatch() subroutine
to detect type of object and use appropriate action (in most case it
would be either 'commit' action, or 'tag', or 'tree' for top

Now evaluate_git_version() is inside run_request() to be called for each

when using FastCGI interface (gitweb.fcgi).
This change was done because evaluate_git_version() uses $GIT variable,
which can be set / modified by gitweb config file, but the variable is
modified this way by gitweb config file used in gitweb tests. Without

Formalize our dependency on perl 5.8, bumped from 5.6.[12]. We already
used the three-arg form of open() which was introduced in 5.6.1, but
t/t9700/test.pl explicitly depended on 5.6.2.
However git-add--interactive.pl has been failing on the 5.6 line since
it was introduced in v1.5.0-rc0~12^2~2 back in 2006 due to this open
syntax:
sub run_cmd_pipe {
my $fh = undef;
open($fh, '-|', @_) or die;
return <$fh>;
}
Which when executed dies on "Can't use an undefined value as

t7105-reset-patch.sh
t7501-commit.sh

Our code is bitrotting on 5.6 with no-one interested in fixing it, and
pinning us to such an ancient release of Perl is keeping us from using
useful features introduced in the 5.8 release.
The 5.6 series is now over 10 years old, and the 5.6.2 maintenance
release almost 7. 5.8 on the other hand is more than 8 years old.

gitolite's contrib/gitweb/gitweb.conf includes:
$ENV{GL_USER} = $cgi->remote_user || "gitweb";
which is useful for setups where a user has to be authenticated
to access certain repos. Perhaps other typical configurations
change per session in other ways, too.
v1.7.2-rc2~6 (gitweb: Move evaluate_gitweb_config out of run_request,
2010-07-05) broke such configurations for a speedup, by loading
the configuration once per FastCGI process.
Probably in the end there should be a way to specify in the
configuration whether a particular installation wants the speedup or
the flexibility. But for now it is easier to just undo the relevant
change.
This partially reverts commit 869d58813b.

Move evaluate_gitweb_config() and evaluate_git_version() out of
run_request() to run(), making them not run one for each request.
This changes how git behaves in FastCGI case.
This change makes it impossible to have config which changes with
request, but I don't think anyone relied on such (hidden action)
behavior.
While at it, reset timer and number of git commands at beginning of
run_request() in new reset_timer() subroutine. This fixes case when
gitweb was run using FastCGI interface: time is reported for request,
and not for single run of gitweb script. This changes slightly
behavior in non-FastCGI case: the number of git commands reported is
1 less (running `git --version` one per gitweb is not counted now).

Change the default message for errors (for fatalsToBrowser) to use
die_error() subroutine. This way errors (and explicitely calling 'die
MESSAGE') would generate 'Internal Server Error' error message.
Note that call to set_message is intentionally not put in BEGIN block;
we set error handler to use die_error() only after we are sure that we
can use it, after all needed variables are set.
Due to the fact that error handler set via set_message() subroutine
from CGI::Carp (in the fatalsToBrowser case) is called after HTTP
headers were already printed (with exception of MOD_PERL), gitweb
cannot return 'Status: 500 Internal Server Error'.
Thanks to the fact that die_error() no longer uses 'exit', errors
would be logged by CGI::Carp, independent on whether default error
handler is used, or handle_errors_html which uses die_error is used.

This commit fixes a bug in processing project-specific override in
a situation when there is no project, e.g. for the projects list page.
When 'snapshot' feature had project specific config override enabled
by putting
$feature{'snapshot'}{'override'} = 1;
(or equivalent) in $GITWEB_CONFIG, and when viewing toplevel gitweb
page, which means the projects list page (to be more exact this
happens for any project-less action), gitweb would put the following
Perl warnings in error log:
gitweb.cgi: Use of uninitialized value $git_dir in concatenation (.) or string at gitweb.cgi line 2065.
fatal: error processing config file(s)
gitweb.cgi: Use of uninitialized value $git_dir in concatenation (.) or string at gitweb.cgi line 2221.
gitweb.cgi: Use of uninitialized value $git_dir in concatenation (.) or string at gitweb.cgi line 2218.
The problem is in the following fragment of code:
# path to the current git repository
our $git_dir;
$git_dir = "$projectroot/$project" if $project;
# list of supported snapshot formats
our @snapshot_fmts = gitweb_get_feature('snapshot');
@snapshot_fmts = filter_snapshot_fmts(@snapshot_fmts);
For the toplevel gitweb page, which is the list of projects, $project is not
defined, therefore neither is $git_dir. gitweb_get_feature() subroutine
calls git_get_project_config() if project specific override is turned
on... but we don't have project here.
Those errors mentioned above occur in the following fragment of code in
git_get_project_config():
# get config
if (!defined $config_file ||
$config_file ne "$git_dir/config") {
%config = git_parse_project_config('gitweb');
$config_file = "$git_dir/config";
}
git_parse_project_config() calls git_cmd() which has '--git-dir='.$git_dir
There are (at least) three possible solutions:
1. Harden gitweb_get_feature() so that it doesn't call
git_get_project_config() if $project (and therefore $git_dir) is not
defined; there is no project for project specific config.
2. Harden git_get_project_config() like you did in your fix, returning early

This commit implements both 1.) and 2.), i.e. gitweb_get_feature() doesn't
call project-specific override if $git_dir is not defined (if there is no
project), and git_get_project_config() returns early if $git_dir is not
defined.

This is a bit of future-proofing esc_html and friends: when called
with undefined value they would now would return undef... which would
probably mean that error would still occur, but closer to the source
of problem.
This means that we can safely use
esc_html(shift) || "Internal Server Error"
in die_error() instead of
esc_html(shift || "Internal Server Error")

The error message (second argument to die_error) is meant to be short,
one-line text description of given error. A few callers call
die_error with error message containing unescaped user supplied data
($hash, $file_name). Instead of forcing callers to escape data,
simply call esc_html on the parameter.
Note that optional third parameter, which contains detailed error
description, is meant to be HTML formatted, and therefore should be
not escaped.
While at it update esc_html synopsis/usage, and bring default error
description to read 'Internal Server Error' (titlecased).

The chop_str subroutine is meant to be used on strings (such as commit
description / title) *before* HTML escaping, which means before
applying esc_html or equivalent.
Therefore get rid of the failed attempt to always remove full HTML
entities (like e.g. & or ). It is not necessary (HTML
entities gets added later), and it can cause chop_str to chop a string
incorrectly.

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.

Teach gitweb how to produce nicer snapshot names by only using the
short hash id. If clients make requests using a tree-ish that is not
a partial or full SHA-1 hash, then the short hash will also be appended
to whatever they asked for. If clients request snapshot of a tag
(which means that $hash ('h') parameter has 'refs/tags/' prefix),
use only tag name.
Update tests cases in t9502-gitweb-standalone-parse-output.
Gitweb uses the following format for snapshot filenames:
<sanitized project name>-<version info>.<snapshot suffix>
where <sanitized project name> is project name with '.git' or '/.git'
suffix stripped, unless '.git' is the whole project name. For
snapshot prefix it uses:
<sanitized project name>-<version info>/
as compared to <sanitized project name>/ before (without version info).
Current rules for <version info>:
* if 'h' / $hash parameter is SHA-1 or shortened SHA-1, use SHA-1
shortened to to 7 characters
* otherwise if 'h' / $hash parameter is tag name (it begins with
'refs/tags/' prefix, use tag name (with 'refs/tags/' stripped
* otherwise if 'h' / $hash parameter starts with 'refs/heads/' prefix,
strip this prefix, convert '/' into '.', and append shortened SHA-1
after '-', i.e. use <sanitized hash>-<shortened sha1>

The new 'blame_incremental' view requires JavaScript to run. Not all
web browsers implement JavaScript (e.g. text browsers such as Lynx),
and not all users have JavaScript enabled. Therefore instead of
unconditionally linking to 'blame_incremental' view, we use JavaScript
to convert those links to lead to view utilizing JavaScript, by adding
'js=1' to link.
Currently the only action that takes 'js=1' into account is 'blame',
which then acts as if it was called as 'blame_incremental' action.
Possible enhancement would be to do JavaScript redirect by setting
window.location instead of modifying $format and $action in
git_blame_common() subroutine.
The only JavaScript-aware/using view is currently 'blame_incremental'.
While at it move reading JavaScript to git_footer_html() subroutine.
Note that in this view we do not add 'js=1' currently (even though
perhaps we should; note that for consistency we should also add 'js=1'
in links added by JavaScript part of 'blame_incremental').
This idea was originally implemented by Petr Baudis in
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/47614
but it added <script> element with fixBlameLinks() function in page
header, to be added as onload event using 'onload' attribute of HTML
'body' element: <body onload="fixBlameLinks();">. This version adds
script at then end of page (in the page footer), and uses JavaScript
'window.onload=fixLinks();'. Also in Petr version only links marked
with 'blamelink' class were modified, and they were modified by
replacing "a=blame" by "a=blame_incremental"... which doesn't work for
path_info links, and might replace wrong part if there is "a=blame" in
project name, ref name or file name.
Slightly different solution was implemented by Martin Koegler in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/47902/focus=47905
Here GitAddLinks() function was in gitweb.js file, not as contents of
<script> element. It was also included in page header (in <head>
element) though, which means waiting for a script to load (and run).
It was smarter in that to "fix" (modify) link, it split URL, modified
value of 'a' parameter, and then recreated modified link. It avoids
trouble with "a=blame" as substring in project name or file name, but
it doesn't work with path_info URL/link in the way it was written.

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

because setting $t0 variable needs to be done fairly early to have

benefits visualization in some older browsers;
* when hovering the subject, only the subject itself is underlined; when

The XZ compression format uses the LZMA2 compression algorithm, which
often yields higher compression ratios than both GZip and BZip2 at the
cost of using more CPU time and RAM. XZ is the slowest for compression,
but still much faster than BZip2 for decompression, almost comparable
to GZip (see benchmarks below).
Some simple benchmarks show the pros and cons of using XZ compression;
starting with an already tarball'd archive of the repos listed below.
Memory usage seemed to be consistent for any given algorithm at their
respective default compression levels.

From a time and memory perspective, nothing compares to GZip, but if
given an average upload speed of 20KB/s, it would take ~400 seconds
longer to transfer the BZip2'd kernel snapshot than the XZ snapshot;
the transfer time difference is even greater between GZip and XZ. The
real time savings are relatively the same for all test cases, but less
dramatic for smaller repositories.
XZ decompresses ~1.8-2 times slower than GZip, and ~2.7-3.75 times
faster than BZip2; XZ gets relatively faster as snapshots get larger.
However, XZ takes relatively longer to compress as snapshots get larger.
The downside for XZ'd snapshots is the large CPU and memory load put on
the server to generate the compressed snapshot, though XZ will
eventually
have threading support, and the real clock time for making XZ'd
snapshots
would decrease if the server had a beefy multi-core CPU.
XZ compression is disabled by default to allow upgrades to take place
without any surprises, as the CPU and memory requirements will be an
issue for high load or lightweight servers. Also, the XZ format is still
new (format declared stable ~6 months ago), and there have been no
"stable" releases of the utils yet.
