Instead of checking if explicit SHA-1 in commit log message is sha1 of commit and making link to "commit" view, make [fragment of] explicit SHA-1 in commit log message link to "object" view. While at it allow to hyperlink also shortened SHA-1, from 8 characters up to full SHA-1, instead of requiring full 40 characters of SHA-1. This makes the following changes: * SHA-1 of objects which no longer exists, for example in commit cherry-picked from no longer existing temporary branch, or revert of commit in rebased branch, are no longer marked as such by not being made into hyperlink (and not having default hyperlink view: being underlined among others). On the other hand it makes gitweb to not write error messages when object is not found to web serwer log; it also moves cost of getting type and SHA-1 validation to when link is clicked, and not only viewed. * SHA-1 of other objects: blobs, trees, tags are also hyperlinked and lead to appropriate view (although in the case of tags it is more natural to just use tag name). * You can put shortened SHA-1 of commit in the commit message, and it would be hyperlinked; it would be checked on clicking if abbrev is unique.

GIT web Interface
=================
The one working on:
http://www.kernel.org/git/
From the git version 1.4.0 gitweb is bundled with git.
How to configure gitweb for your local system
---------------------------------------------
You can specify the following configuration variables when building GIT:
* GITWEB_SITENAME
Shown in the title of all generated pages, defaults to the servers name.
* GITWEB_PROJECTROOT
The root directory for all projects shown by gitweb.
* GITWEB_LIST
points to a directory to scan for projects (defaults to project root)
or to a file for explicit listing of projects.
* GITWEB_HOMETEXT
points to an .html file which is included on the gitweb project
overview page.
* GITWEB_CSS
Points to the location where you put gitweb.css on your web server.
* GITWEB_LOGO
Points to the location where you put git-logo.png on your web server.
* GITWEB_CONFIG
This file will be loaded using 'require' and can be used to override any
of the options above as well as some other options - see the top of
'gitweb.cgi' for their full list and description. If the environment
$GITWEB_CONFIG is set when gitweb.cgi is executed the file in the
environment variable will be loaded instead of the file
specified when gitweb.cgi was created.
Runtime gitweb configuration
----------------------------
You can adjust gitweb behaviour using the file specified in `GITWEB_CONFIG`
(defaults to 'gitweb_config.perl' in the same directory as the CGI).
See the top of 'gitweb.cgi' for the list of variables and some description.
The most notable thing that is not configurable at compile time are the
optional features, stored in the '%features' variable. You can find further
description on how to reconfigure the default features setting in your
`GITWEB_CONFIG` or per-project in `project.git/config` inside 'gitweb.cgi'.
Webserver configuration
-----------------------
If you want to have one URL for both gitweb and your http://
repositories, you can configure apache like this:
<VirtualHost www:80>
ServerName git.domain.org
DocumentRoot /pub/git
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/(.*\.git/(?!/?(info|objects|refs)).*)?$ /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi%{REQUEST_URI} [L,PT]
SetEnv GITWEB_CONFIG /etc/gitweb.conf
</VirtualHost>
The above configuration expects your public repositories to live under
/pub/git and will serve them as http://git.domain.org/dir-under-pub-git,
both as cloneable GIT URL and as browseable gitweb interface.
If you then start your git-daemon with --base-path=/pub/git --export-all
then you can even use the git:// URL with exactly the same path.
Setting the environment variable GITWEB_CONFIG will tell gitweb to use
the named file (i.e. in this example /etc/gitweb.conf) as a
configuration for gitweb. Perl variables defined in here will
override the defaults given at the head of the gitweb.perl (or
gitweb.cgi). Look at the comments in that file for information on
which variables and what they mean.
