Michael G. Noll said in comments to the "Switching my code repository from
Subversion (SVN) to git" article (http://tinyurl.com/37v67l) in his "My
digital moleskine" blog, that one of the things he is missing in gitweb
from SVN::Web is an RSS feed with news/information of the current view
(including RSS feed for single file or directory).
This is not exactly true, as since refactoring feed generation in af6feeb
(gitweb: Refactor feed generation, make output prettier, add Atom feed,
2006-11-19), gitweb can generate feeds (RSS or Atom) for history of a
given branch, history limited to a given directory, or history of a given
file. Nevertheless this required handcrafting the URL to get wanted RSS
feed.
This commit makes gitweb select feed links in the HTML header and in
page footer depending on current view (action). It is more elaborate,
and I guess more correct, than simple patch adding $hash ('h')
parameter to *all* URLs, including feed links, by Jean-Baptiste Quenot
Subject: [PATCH] gitweb: Add hash parameter in feed URL when a hash
is specified in the current request
Message-ID: <ae63f8b50803211138y6355fd11pa64cda50a1f53011@mail.gmail.com>
If $hash ('h') or $hash_base ('hb') parameter is a branch name
(i.e. it starts with 'refs/heads/'; all generated URLs use this form
to discriminate between tags and heads), it is used in feed URLs; if
$file_name ('f') is defined, it is used in feed URLs. Feed title is
set according to the kind of web feed: it is either 'log' for generic
feed, 'log of <branch>', 'history of <filename>' for generic history
(using implicit or explicit HEAD, i.e. current branch) or 'history of
<filename> on <branch>'.
There are special cases: 'heads' and 'forks' views should use OPML
providing list of available feeds; 'tags' probably also should use
OPML; there is no web feed equivalent to 'search' view. Currently all
those cases fallback to (show) default feed. Such feed link uses
"generic" class, and is shown in slightly lighter color for
distinction.
Currently feed can have but one starting point, and does not support
negative (exclude) commit arguments. Therefore for now for *diff
views it is chosen that feed follow the "to" part: to-name, to-commit
for 'blobdiff', 'treediff' and 'commitdiff' views.
Generating parameters for href() for feed link was separated
(refactored) into get_feed_info() subroutine.

Since git-remote always uses remote tracking branches, it
should be safe to always force updates of those branches.
I.e., we should generate
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/$remote/*
instead of
fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/$remote/*
This was the behavior of the perl version, which seems to
have been lost in the C rewrite.

Previously, a push like:
git push remote src:dst
would go through the following steps:
1. check for an unambiguous 'dst' on the remote; if it
exists, then push to that ref
2. otherwise, check if 'dst' begins with 'refs/'; if it
does, create a new ref
3. otherwise, complain because we don't know where in the
refs hierarchy to put 'dst'
However, in some cases, we can guess about the ref type of
'dst' based on the ref type of 'src'. Specifically, before
complaining we now check:
2.5. if 'src' resolves to a ref starting with refs/heads
or refs/tags, then prepend that to 'dst'
So now this creates a new branch on the remote, whereas it
previously failed with an error message:
git push master:newbranch
Note that, by design, we limit this DWIM behavior only to
source refs which resolve exactly (including symrefs which
resolve to existing refs). We still complain on a partial
destination refspec if the source is a raw sha1, or a ref
expression such as 'master~10'.

This test tried to push into a remote with ambiguous refs in
remotes/$x/master and remotes/$y/master. However, the remote
never actually tells us about the refs/remotes hierarchy, so
we don't even see this ambiguity.
The test happened to pass because we were simply looking for
failure, and the test fails for another reason: the dst
refspec does not exist and does not begin with refs/, making
it invalid.

The documentation for git-imap-send suggests a tunnel setting such as
Tunnel = "ssh -q user@server.com /usr/bin/imapd ./Maildir 2> /dev/null"
which works wonderfully and doesn't require a username, password or port
setting.
However, git-imap-send currently requires that the imap.host variable be
set in the config even when it was unused. This patch changes imap-send
to only require that the imap.host setting is set if imap.tunnel is not
set. Otherwise, server.host is set to "tunnel" for reporting purposes.

According to the similar patch from David Kågedal [1], "this will make
it a little less posix-dependent and more efficient." However, there
are two other areas that need to replaced, namely
git-run-command-region and git-run-hooks. This patch implements the
changes of [1] onto those Emacs Lisp functions.
If unpatched, using the git port "msysgit" on Windows will require
defadvice changes as shown at [2] (also explained at 4msysgit.git
[3]).
I have tested git-run-command-region on msysgit, because this is
always called by git-commit (via git-commit-tree <- git-do-commit <-
git-commit-file). However, I could not test git-run-hooks because it
currently does not work on the Emacs Windows port. The latter reports
the hooks files as a+rw and a-x, despite msysgit and cygwin chmod
setting on the respective files.

gitweb: Fix 'history' view for deleted files with history
Document that WebDAV doesn't need git on the server, and works over SSL
git-remote: reject adding remotes with invalid names
am: POSIX portability fix
When asked for history of a file which is not present in given branch
("HEAD", i.e. current branch, or given by transient $hash_hase ('hb')
parameter), but is present deeper in the history (meaning that "git
rev-list --full-history $hash_base -- $file_name" is not empty), and
there is no $hash ('h') parameter set for a file, gitweb would spew
multiple of "Use of uninitialized value" warnings, and some links
would be missing. This commit fixes this bug.
This bug occurs in the rare cases when "git log -- <path>" is empty
and "git log --full-history -- <path>" is not, or to be more exact in
the cases when full-history starts later than given branch. It can
happen if you are using handcrafted gitwb URL, or if you follow
generic 'history' link or bookmark for a file which got deleted.
Gitweb tried to get file type ('tree', or 'blob', or even 'commit')
from the commit we start searching from (where the file was not
present), and not among found commits. This was the cause of "Use of
uninitialized value" warnings.
This commit also add tests for such situation to t9500 test.
While we are it, return HTTP error if there is _no_ history; it means
that file or directory was not found (for given branch). Also error
out if type of item could not be found: it should not happen now, but
better be sure.

This can happen if the arguments to git-remote add is switched by the
