Namhyung Kim 5a45c0cafe gitweb: Cleanup git_print_log()
When we see a signed-off-by line (and its friends), we set $signoff
to true, but then we process the next line after we are done without
giving control to the rest of the loop.  And when the line we saw is
not a signed-off-by line, we reset $signoff to false before running
the remainder of the loop.

Hence, the check for $signoff that attempts to remove an extra empty
line between two signed-off-by line was not doing anything useful.

Rename $empty to a more explicit name $skip_blank_line to tell us to
skip a blank line when we see one, set it after we see and emit a
blank line (to avoid showing more than one empty lines in a raw) or
after we handle a signed-off-by line (to avoid empty lines after
such a line), to fix this bug, and get rid of the $signoff variable
that is not useful.

GIT web Interface
=================

The one working on:
  http://git.kernel.org/

From the git version 1.4.0 gitweb is bundled with git.


Build time gitweb configuration
-------------------------------
There are many configuration variables which affect building gitweb (among
others creating gitweb.cgi out of gitweb.perl by replacing placeholders such
as `++GIT_BINDIR++` by their build-time values).

Building and installing gitweb is described in gitweb's INSTALL file
(in 'gitweb/INSTALL').


Runtime gitweb configuration
----------------------------
Gitweb obtains configuration data from the following sources in the
following order:

1. built-in values (some set during build stage),
2. common system-wide configuration file (`GITWEB_CONFIG_COMMON`,
   defaults to '/etc/gitweb-common.conf'),
3. either per-instance configuration file (`GITWEB_CONFIG`, defaults to
   'gitweb_config.perl' in the same directory as the installed gitweb),
   or if it does not exists then system-wide configuration file
   (`GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM`, defaults to '/etc/gitweb.conf').

Values obtained in later configuration files override values obtained earlier
in above sequence.

You can read defaults in system-wide GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM from GITWEB_CONFIG
by adding

  read_config_file($GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM);

at very beginning of per-instance GITWEB_CONFIG file.  In this case
settings in said per-instance file will override settings from
system-wide configuration file.  Note that read_config_file checks
itself that the $GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM file exists.

The most notable thing that is not configurable at compile time are the
optional features, stored in the '%features' variable.

Ultimate description on how to reconfigure the default features setting
in your `GITWEB_CONFIG` or per-project in `project.git/config` can be found
as comments inside 'gitweb.cgi'.

See also gitweb.conf(5) manpage.


Web server configuration
------------------------
Gitweb can be run as CGI script, as legacy mod_perl application (using
ModPerl::Registry), and as FastCGI script.  You can find some simple examples
in "Example web server configuration" section in INSTALL file for gitweb (in
gitweb/INSTALL).

See "Webserver configuration" and "Advanced web server setup" sections in
gitweb(1) manpage.
