Subject: [PATCH] gitweb: fix problem causing erroneous project list
Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2013 22:44:28 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130605043524.GA2453@compy.Home> (raw)

The bug is manifest when running gitweb in a persistent process (e.g.
FastCGI, PSGI), and it's easy to reproduce.  If a gitweb request
includes the searchtext parameter (i.e. s), subsequent requests using
the project_list action--which is the default action--and without
a searchtext parameter will be filtered by the searchtext value of the
first request.  This is because the value of the $search_regexp global
(the value of which is based on the searchtext parameter) is currently
being persisted between requests.

Instead, clear $search_regexp before dispatching each request.

I don't think there are currently any persistent-process gitweb tests to
copy from, so writing a test for this seems to be non-trivial.
