Subject: [PATCHv2] gitweb: Use GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM even if GITWEB_CONFIG does exist
Date: Mon, 16 May 2011 11:53:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201105161153.24382.jnareb@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <201105151153.08826.jnareb@gmail.com>

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 is _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.

Note that strictly speaking it is backwards incompatible change.
Check your resulting gitweb configuration, please.

This version addresses this issue.
