gitweb: View graphes & get tar

[Bertrand Jacquin]

Hi,

Is gitweb maintainer planned to allow people to get from gitweb ? It
could be something good for ungited/remote people to get a tar for a
specific tree.
gd provide to create graphs and is often use in "web project" to
generate graphe. Could it here generated a graph of branches like in
gitk ?
It also could be cool to allow people to get binary files in an other
mimetype that text/plain.

Here are my wish :D it's worth what it's worth.

You can do some of that a different way.

I have it set up so that when I push a tag into my public git repositories, 
that a post-update hook creates a tarball of the site and puts it into the 
download directory.

The hook is of the following form

#!/bin/sh
#
# This script is used to create a tarball of the project and place it into the 
"files"
# directory of the web site whenever a release is tagged in the repository
#
PROJECT=akcmoney
# this should look at each positional parameter
for ref ; do
#if its a tag then create a tarball
        if [ "${ref:0:10}" == "refs/tags/" ] ; then
                git-tar-tree ${ref:10} $PROJECT | gzip -9 
> /var/www/chandlerfamily/files/$PROJECT/$PROJECT-${ref:10}.tar.gz
        fi
done

Open Source. It's the difference between trust and antitrust.

That's ok, but with that I couldn't get a tar for _not_ the current
tree. If i want to get a tar tree for 2 months old in not master
branch, I can't with that. The idea here is the create the tar on the
fly, on the user demand.
And also, I use http push so hooks can't be used :/

This should be really trivial to implement, although I seriously doubt 
its usefulness, not to mention that for large projects it would be 
painfully slow. The only valid reason someone has to get a tar-ball of a 
random development point is to debug it, and for that they should check 
out the whole repo anyways, which will enable them to use the excellent 
bisect tool.

I suffer for you.

I have something like that in my gitweb tree
(http://www.liacs.nl/~sverdool/gitweb.cgi?p=gitweb.git;a=summary)

I haven't updated it for a while, though...
I usually get a lot of merge conflicts when Kay changes
a particular line that appear about a hundred times in his version and
only once in my version...
