I don't think so. We keep git-relink, which almost nobody uses, and few know what it does. I guess that git-instaweb is not advertised enough, but that might change, as Scott Chacon in "Pro Git" mentions / covers git-instaweb. P.S. I'd like to create GIT::Web, which would use (contrary to gitweb) many CPAN modules (and PAR to help installing it with dependencies), which would use HTTP::Engine (and therefore run as CGI, FastCGI, mod_perl and standalone HTTP::Server::Simple), and be similar in structure to SVN::Web. With it using HTTP::Server::Simple git-instaweb would be needed less... But it is in "Duke Nuke Forever" (or packv4 ;-) future... -- Jakub Narebski Poland
