Subject: [PATCH] gitweb: Use GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM even if GITWEB_CONFIG does exist
Date: Sat, 14 May 2011 21:37:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201105142137.16541.jnareb@gmail.com> (raw)

gitweb obtains configuration from the following sources:

  1. per-instance configuration file (default: gitweb_conf.perl)
  2. system-wide configuration file (default: /etc/gitweb.conf)

If per-instance configuration file exists, then system-wide
configuration was _not used at all_.  This is quite untypical and
suprising behavior.

This commit changes gitweb behavior so that configuration in
per-instance configuration file can _override_ settings from
system-wide configuration file.

This is the response to discussion in the

  [PATCH/WIP] Starting work on a man page for /etc/gitweb.conf
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/173422

The patch to gitweb.perl itself (without the commit message) was send
as part of 

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/173422/focus=173489

(embedded in body of email).

Note that changes to gitweb/README and gitweb/INSTALL were
minimalized, so the final result might not be the best... but I think
it is good enough.
