[ANNOUNCE] cgit 0.8

[ANNOUNCE] cgit 0.8

[Lars Hjemli]

cgit-0.8, another webinterface for git, is now available.

clone:   git://hjemli.net/pub/git/cgit
browse:  http://hjemli.net/git/cgit

Some of the new features since 0.7.2:
* atom feeds for branch and/or path (http://hjemli.net/git/cgit/atom)
* builtin clone/fetch (git clone http://hjemli.net/git/cgit)
* commit messages with 'encoding' attribute gets converted to utf-8
* commit view includes full diff (http://hjemli.net/git/cgit/commit/)
* limited number of entries in cache (no need for manual cleanup)
* new plain blob view (http://hjemli.net/git/cgit/plain/cgitrc.5.txt)
* new plain patch view (http://hjemli.net/git/cgit/patch/)
* searchable, paginated project list
* support for PATH_INFO (no need for url rewriting)


Big thanks to everyone who submitted patches and feedback!

This is great!

I'm curious - is there any interest in the cgit world in providing gitweb 
URL compatibility?  That way, migrations from gitweb to cgit would not 
break links.  I know that's something we've been thinking through at 
code.creativecommons.org; gitweb has been a big load on that web server, 
but (re-)switching to cgit would mean invalidating people's bookmarked 
links again.

Also, Tv or other gitosis maintainers: Is there any interest in supporting 
cgit as easily as gitweb is supported in gitosis?

If the answer to both is "We don't personally care about it, but patches 
are welcome, " that'll be okay, but obviously I'm hoping for something 
else. (-:

Either way, thanks a bundle to all who work on cgit!  (And is this the 
canonical place to discuss it?)

Well, it's a request that's popped up a few times, but no patches so
far. It would probably be a nice feature if it could be done cleanly.

You're welcome. And yes, I think this is the place (cgit doesn't have
a mailinglist of its own).

While we are at the urls, I prefer the urls that mercurial has, e.g.:

http://hg.sympy.org/sympy/rev/62b1589fefa7

is there any reason why cgit uses

http://hjemli.net/git/cgit/commit/?id=140012d

instead of:

http://hjemli.net/git/cgit/commit/140012d

?

If its just a matter of preparing a patch, I'll do that.
