1bed73c64a gitweb/README: fix AliasMatch in example
When combining "dumb client" and human-friendly access by using the
'.git' extension to switch between the two, make sure the AliasMatch
covers the entire request. Without a full match, a request for

http://git.example.com/project/shortlog/branch..gitsomething

would result in a 404 because the server would try to access the
the project 'project/shortlog/branch.'

The solution is still not bulletproof, so document the possible failing
case.

7e1100e9e9 gitweb: add $prevent_xss option to prevent XSS by repository content
Add a gitweb configuration variable $prevent_xss that disables features
to prevent content in repositories from launching cross-site scripting
(XSS) attacks in the gitweb domain.  Currently, this option makes gitweb
ignore README.html (a better solution may be worked out in the future)
and serve a blob_plain file of an untrusted type with
"Content-Disposition: attachment", which tells the browser not to show
the file at its original URL.

The XSS prevention is currently off by default.

e80f97e20c gitweb: Update README that gitweb works better with PATH_INFO
One had to configure gitweb for it to find static files (stylesheets,
images) when using path_info URLs.  Now that it is not necessary
thanks to adding BASE element to HTML head if needed, update README to
reflect this fact.

17a8b25005 gitweb: fallback to system-wide config file if default config does not exist
From a distribution point of view, configuration files for applications
should reside in /etc/.  On the other hand it's convenient for multiple
instances of gitweb (e.g. virtual web servers on a single machine) to have
a per-instance configuration file, just as gitweb currently supports
through the file gitweb_config.perl next to the cgi.

To support both at runtime, this commit introduces GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM as
a system-wide configuration file which will be used as a fallback if the
config file sprecified throug GITWEB_CONFIG does not exist.

b59012ef4e gitweb: Use the config file to set repository owner's name.
Now gitweb checks if gitweb.owner exists before trying to get filesystem's
owner.

Allow to use configuration variable gitweb.owner set the repository owner,
it checks the gitweb.owner, if not set it uses filesystem directory's owner.

Useful when we don't want to maintain project list file, and all
repository directories have to have the same owner (for example when the
same SSH account is shared for all projects, using ssh_acl to control
access instead).

d661146ac2 gitweb: Add info about $projectroot and $projects_list to gitweb/README
Those two configuration variables are important enough that it is
worth to explicitely write about them in the "Gitweb config file
variables" section even if they are usually set during build by
GITWEB_PROJECTROOT and GITWEB_LIST build (Makefile) configuration
variables.

still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

bb55f77fcd gitweb: require $ENV{'GITWEB_CONFIG'}
With this patch it is possible to use gitweb.perl for developing by
loading the configuration from $GITWEB_CONFIG.  This might also be
useful for normal usage of gitweb.

Example:

    % cat cfg
    $GIT = '/usr/bin/git';
    $projectroot = '/home/matled/src/git';
    $projects_list = '/home/matled/src/git/git/gitweb/list';
    % cat run
    #!/bin/sh
    export GATEWAY_INTERFACE="CGI/1.1"
    export HTTP_ACCEPT="*/*"
    export REQUEST_METHOD="GET"
    export GITWEB_CONFIG='./cfg'
    export QUERY_STRING=""$1""
    exec ./gitweb.perl
    % time ./run p=git/.git > /dev/null

This makes it easy to check for warnings and do performance tests
after changes, you can also pipe this to lynx -dump -force-html
/dev/stdin to get more than just html.

This also documents the original patch adding require $GITWEB_CONFIG.
