Just need to make it optional ;-) Check http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git&m=111909432415478&w=2 for in the main code snapshot implementation. http://www.liacs.nl/~sverdool/gitweb.cgi?p=gitweb.git;a=summary http://www.liacs.nl/~sverdool/gitweb.git Would separate snapshot CGI script make it work faster? >> Any further ideas for other useful features? > > Now what I think would rock too is something similar to gitk's "nearby > tags" feature.

If I remember correctly, it was done in the background, and it was done at least partially _in_ gitk (Tcl/Tk). > And, as you mention in your other post, mod_perl support. And a bit of > speed. Gitweb right now is really really slow. Perhaps mod_cache would help. Especially if cache can be configured to look only at the hash part, plus formatting (normal, plain/raw, blame, search match highlighting). -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ShadeHawk on #git
