[ANNOUNCE] git web interface was changed to cgit

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab]

Hi all,

I changed today our git web interface from gitweb to cgit, due to seveal
reasons:
	- cgit is faster;
	- cgit has a page cache. That helps to reduce the CPU usage while
	  handling the pages;
	- cgit is more powerful and have more options;
	- gitweb is not used anymore on most projects;
	- gitweb is not as well maintained as cgit.

I changed from the default .css file to a customized one, as our site uses
black as the background for most things. That's said, I'm not a web designer.

I'm pretty sure that this could be improved a lot, but we lack time and
manpower to do it. So, if someone with web design experience could take
a look at the current cgit.css file and send us a new version or 
suggestions to improve it, be welcomed!

Please ping me if you fin any problems on it.

Mauro

Hi,

one small thing I've noticed is that the repo links from
http://linuxtv.org/cvs.php are broken now.

Thanks for noticing!

I added a rewrite rule. This way, the old URLs will still work.

http://git.linuxtv.org/cgit.cgi/media_build.git/tree/README

the first time i opened that link i got an internal server error, then
it shows an "empty" file (many lines, all empty).

It seems to happen for every file, even in other repos:

Fixed. A highlight filter was missing.
