Hi again,

Ok, so the proper fix is v1.7.2-rc0~55^2~3, but that seems too dramatic
to try at the moment for squeeze (for which the plan is to basically
go with gitweb and instaweb 1.7.1).  Does this workaround help?

Eric, do you think it is worth duplicating the logo and favicon within
pre-v1.7.2 instaweb?  The script already takes 252 KiB, so an extra
10 KiB might not be such a big deal.

The stylesheet is important and should be fixed.  I don't care about the
logo and favicon (warning: I've never been a fan of logos/icons,
needless noise IMHO), but if you're willing to help maintain it then
it's fine by me.

Thanks, Eric; that makes sense.  How about this?

The purpose of this series is the first patch, which allows
old-fashioned instaweb to run even if /etc/gitweb.conf specifies some
layout it does not expect.

I suspect this problem is already fixed in maint by v1.7.2-rc0~55^2~3
(git-instaweb: Configure it to work with new gitweb structure,
2010-05-28; thanks, Pavan!), but users that do not like gitweb version
numbers with a 2 in them will not be able to use that.

Patches 2-4 fix some spurious 404 errors due to missing images,
noticed while debugging.

Patches are against Junio's maint-1.7.1.

Jonathan Nieder (4):
  instaweb: ignore GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM
  gitweb: skip logo in atom feed when there is none
  gitweb: make logo optional
  instaweb: disable logo and favicon by default

The configuration in /etc/gitweb.conf might specify any old
layout; in particular, it is likely not to be identical to that
which git instaweb sets up.  Noticed by Uwe Kleine-König.

With v1.5.0-rc0~169 (gitweb: Fix Atom feed <logo>: it is $logo,
not $logo_url, 2006-12-04), the logo URI to be written to Atom
feeds was corrected but the case of no logo forgotten.

Some sites may not want to have a logo at all.  In particular,
git instaweb can benefit from this.

I am not sure if this is a reasonable change by reading the above.  In
some cases, the file may stale, but in other cases, it may specify what
the site administrator wants its users to be using, no?

Perhaps moving the last ' to its own line would help maintaining the
script in the longer term?

Yes, I should have mentioned this.

By analogy with .gitconfig, one might want "git instaweb" to check
GITWEB_CONFIG_LOCAL, GITWEB_CONFIG_GLOBAL, and GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM in
that order, taking values from all three.  A GITWEB_CONFIG envvar
could override them all.

But stepping back a moment, what would this accomplish?  The gitweb
configuration specifies

 - what git version to use;
 - site branding;
 - what directory projects are relative to (*);
 - how deep to search for projects;
 - where the list of projects is (*);
 - how to demonstrate project consent to be shown (*);
 - whether to be a stickler about hiding secrets;
 - where gitweb.css, git-logo.png, git-favicon.png, and gitweb.js are (*);
 - base URI for relative paths used above (*);
 - what extra features (e.g. "snapshot") to enable;
 - MIME types, diff options, etc.

The items marked with a (*) are, in the regime used by git 1.7.1,
specific to the "git instaweb" instance, since it is all about showing
the current git repo and provides its own copies of gitweb.cgi instead
of relying on copies in /usr/share/gitweb.

The items not marked with (*) might indeed benefit from some global
site defaults.  But unfortunately, that is already not what
/etc/gitweb.conf is: it is rather used as a unit as a fallback when a
separate gitweb_config.perl is not present.

In git 1.7.2 and later, "git instaweb" provides the gitweb_config.perl
and this discussion becomes academic.

Good idea; thanks.

Ah, I missed your point here.  By "any old layout", I meant "an
arbitrary layout"[1].  Sorry for the lack of clarity.

Ah, you mean "instaweb wants to use a specific layout but whatever is
specified in /etc/gitweb.conf will interfere with it"?
