The build system added support minifying gitweb.js through a
JavaScript minifier, but most minifiers come with support for
minifying CSS files as well, so we should use it if we can.
This patch will add the same facilities to gitweb.css that
gitweb.js has for minification. That does not mean that they
will use the same minifier though, as it is not safe to assume
that all JavaScript minifiers will also minify CSS files.
This patch also adds the GITWEB_PROGRAMS variable to the Makefile
to keep a list of potential gitweb dependencies separate from
OTHER_PROGRAMS when we need to know just the gitweb dependencies.
Though the bandwidth savings will not be as dramatic as with
the JavaScript minifier, every byte saved is important.

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.

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
proof of concept patch.
This patch adds GITWEB_JS compile configuration option, and modifies

When combining "dumb client" and human-friendly access by using the
'.git' extension to switch between the two, make sure the AliasMatch
covers the entire request. Without a full match, a request for
http://git.example.com/project/shortlog/branch..gitsomething
would result in a 404 because the server would try to access the
the project 'project/shortlog/branch.'
The solution is still not bulletproof, so document the possible failing
case.

Add a gitweb configuration variable $prevent_xss that disables features
to prevent content in repositories from launching cross-site scripting
(XSS) attacks in the gitweb domain. Currently, this option makes gitweb
ignore README.html (a better solution may be worked out in the future)
and serve a blob_plain file of an untrusted type with
"Content-Disposition: attachment", which tells the browser not to show
the file at its original URL.
The XSS prevention is currently off by default.

From a distribution point of view, configuration files for applications
should reside in /etc/. On the other hand it's convenient for multiple
instances of gitweb (e.g. virtual web servers on a single machine) to have
a per-instance configuration file, just as gitweb currently supports
through the file gitweb_config.perl next to the cgi.
To support both at runtime, this commit introduces GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM as
a system-wide configuration file which will be used as a fallback if the
config file sprecified throug GITWEB_CONFIG does not exist.

Now gitweb checks if gitweb.owner exists before trying to get filesystem's
owner.
Allow to use configuration variable gitweb.owner set the repository owner,
it checks the gitweb.owner, if not set it uses filesystem directory's owner.
Useful when we don't want to maintain project list file, and all
repository directories have to have the same owner (for example when the
same SSH account is shared for all projects, using ssh_acl to control
access instead).

With this patch it is possible to use gitweb.perl for developing by
loading the configuration from $GITWEB_CONFIG. This might also be
useful for normal usage of gitweb.
Example:
% cat cfg
$GIT = '/usr/bin/git';
$projectroot = '/home/matled/src/git';
$projects_list = '/home/matled/src/git/git/gitweb/list';
% cat run
#!/bin/sh
export GATEWAY_INTERFACE="CGI/1.1"
export HTTP_ACCEPT="*/*"
export REQUEST_METHOD="GET"
export GITWEB_CONFIG='./cfg'
export QUERY_STRING=""$1""
exec ./gitweb.perl
% time ./run p=git/.git > /dev/null
This makes it easy to check for warnings and do performance tests
after changes, you can also pipe this to lynx -dump -force-html
/dev/stdin to get more than just html.
This also documents the original patch adding require $GITWEB_CONFIG.
