Split originally single gitweb.js file into smaller files, each dealing with single issue / area of responsibility. This move should make gitweb's JavaScript code easier to maintain. For better webapp performance it is recommended[1][2][3] to combine JavaScript files. Do it during build time (in gitweb/Makefile), by straight concatenation of files into gitweb.js file (which is now ignored as being generated). This means that there are no changes to gitweb script itself - it still uses gitweb.js or gitweb.min.js, but now generated.

GIT web interface (gitweb) - JavaScript
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
This directory holds JavaScript code used by gitweb (GIT web interface).
|
|
Scripts from there would be concatenated together in the order specified
|
|
by gitweb/Makefile into gitweb/static/gitweb.js, during building of
|
|
gitweb/gitweb.cgi (during gitweb building). The resulting file (or its
|
|
minification) would then be installed / deployed together with gitweb.
|
|
|
|
Scripts in 'lib/' subdirectory compose generic JavaScript library,
|
|
providing features required by gitweb but in no way limited to gitweb
|
|
only. In the future those scripts could be replaced by some JavaScript
|
|
library / framework, like e.g. jQuery, YUI, Prototype, MooTools, Dojo,
|
|
ExtJS, Script.aculo.us or SproutCore.
|
|
|
|
All scripts that manipulate gitweb output should be put outside 'lib/',
|
|
directly in this directory ('gitweb/static/js/'). Those scripts would
|
|
have to be rewritten if gitweb moves to using some JavaScript library.
|
|
