Fix overeager early return in git_get_project_config, introduced in 9be3614
(gitweb: Fix project-specific feature override behavior, 2010-03-01). When
git_get_project_config is called from projects list page via
git_get_project_owner($path) etc., it is called with $git_dir defined (in
git_get_project_owner($path) etc.), but $project variable is not defined.
git_get_project_config doesn't use $project variable anyway.

This commit fixes a bug in processing project-specific override in
a situation when there is no project, e.g. for the projects list page.
When 'snapshot' feature had project specific config override enabled
by putting
$feature{'snapshot'}{'override'} = 1;
(or equivalent) in $GITWEB_CONFIG, and when viewing toplevel gitweb
page, which means the projects list page (to be more exact this
happens for any project-less action), gitweb would put the following
Perl warnings in error log:
gitweb.cgi: Use of uninitialized value $git_dir in concatenation (.) or string at gitweb.cgi line 2065.
fatal: error processing config file(s)
gitweb.cgi: Use of uninitialized value $git_dir in concatenation (.) or string at gitweb.cgi line 2221.
gitweb.cgi: Use of uninitialized value $git_dir in concatenation (.) or string at gitweb.cgi line 2218.
The problem is in the following fragment of code:
# path to the current git repository
our $git_dir;
$git_dir = "$projectroot/$project" if $project;
# list of supported snapshot formats
our @snapshot_fmts = gitweb_get_feature('snapshot');
@snapshot_fmts = filter_snapshot_fmts(@snapshot_fmts);
For the toplevel gitweb page, which is the list of projects, $project is not
defined, therefore neither is $git_dir. gitweb_get_feature() subroutine
calls git_get_project_config() if project specific override is turned
on... but we don't have project here.
Those errors mentioned above occur in the following fragment of code in
git_get_project_config():
# get config
if (!defined $config_file ||
$config_file ne "$git_dir/config") {
%config = git_parse_project_config('gitweb');
$config_file = "$git_dir/config";
}
git_parse_project_config() calls git_cmd() which has '--git-dir='.$git_dir
There are (at least) three possible solutions:
1. Harden gitweb_get_feature() so that it doesn't call
git_get_project_config() if $project (and therefore $git_dir) is not
defined; there is no project for project specific config.
2. Harden git_get_project_config() like you did in your fix, returning early
if $git_dir is not defined.
3. Harden git_cmd() so that it doesn't add "--git-dir=$git_dir" if $git_dir
is not defined, and change git_get_project_config() so that it doesn't
even try to access $git_dir if it is not defined.
This commit implements both 1.) and 2.), i.e. gitweb_get_feature() doesn't
call project-specific override if $git_dir is not defined (if there is no
project), and git_get_project_config() returns early if $git_dir is not
defined.
Add a test for this bug to t/t9500-gitweb-standalone-no-errors.sh test.

This is a bit of future-proofing esc_html and friends: when called
with undefined value they would now would return undef... which would
probably mean that error would still occur, but closer to the source
of problem.
This means that we can safely use
esc_html(shift) || "Internal Server Error"
in die_error() instead of
esc_html(shift || "Internal Server Error")

The error message (second argument to die_error) is meant to be short,
one-line text description of given error. A few callers call
die_error with error message containing unescaped user supplied data
($hash, $file_name). Instead of forcing callers to escape data,
simply call esc_html on the parameter.
Note that optional third parameter, which contains detailed error
description, is meant to be HTML formatted, and therefore should be
not escaped.
While at it update esc_html synopsis/usage, and bring default error
description to read 'Internal Server Error' (titlecased).

Otherwise the errors can propagate, and show in damnest places, and
you would spend your time chasing ghosts instead of debugging real
problem (yes, it is from personal experience).
This follows (parts of) advice in `perldoc -f do` documentation.
This required restructoring code a bit, so we die only if we are reading
(executing) config file. As a side effect $GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM is always
available, even when we use $GITWEB_CONFIG.

The chop_str subroutine is meant to be used on strings (such as commit
description / title) *before* HTML escaping, which means before
applying esc_html or equivalent.
Therefore get rid of the failed attempt to always remove full HTML
entities (like e.g. & or ). It is not necessary (HTML
entities gets added later), and it can cause chop_str to chop a string
incorrectly.
Specifically:

If one of $site_header, $site_footer or $home_text is not defined, you

This changes slightly the behavior of gitweb, so that it verifies
that the box isn't inundated with before attempting to serve gitweb.
If the box is overloaded, it basically returns a 503 Server Unavailable
until the load falls below the defined threshold. This helps dramatically
if you have a box that's I/O bound, reaches a certain load and you
don't want gitweb, the I/O hog that it is, increasing the pain the
server is already undergoing.
This behavior is controlled by $maxload configuration variable.
Default is a load of 300, which for most cases should never be hit.
Unset it (set it to undefined value, i.e. undef) to turn off checking.
Currently it requires that '/proc/loadavg' file exists, otherwise the
load check is bypassed (load is taken to be 0). So platforms that do
not implement '/proc/loadavg' currently cannot use this feature
(provisions are included for additional checks to be added by others).
There is simple test in t/t9501-gitweb-standalone-http-status.sh to
check that it correctly returns "503 Service Unavailable" if load is
too high, and also if there are any Perl warnings or errors.

Teach gitweb how to produce nicer snapshot names by only using the
short hash id. If clients make requests using a tree-ish that is not
a partial or full SHA-1 hash, then the short hash will also be appended
to whatever they asked for. If clients request snapshot of a tag
(which means that $hash ('h') parameter has 'refs/tags/' prefix),
use only tag name.
Update tests cases in t9502-gitweb-standalone-parse-output.
Gitweb uses the following format for snapshot filenames:
<sanitized project name>-<version info>.<snapshot suffix>
where <sanitized project name> is project name with '.git' or '/.git'
suffix stripped, unless '.git' is the whole project name. For
snapshot prefix it uses:
<sanitized project name>-<version info>/
as compared to <sanitized project name>/ before (without version info).
Current rules for <version info>:
* if 'h' / $hash parameter is SHA-1 or shortened SHA-1, use SHA-1
shortened to to 7 characters
* otherwise if 'h' / $hash parameter is tag name (it begins with
'refs/tags/' prefix, use tag name (with 'refs/tags/' stripped
* otherwise if 'h' / $hash parameter starts with 'refs/heads/' prefix,
strip this prefix, convert '/' into '.', and append shortened SHA-1
after '-', i.e. use <sanitized hash>-<shortened sha1>

The new 'blame_incremental' view requires JavaScript to run. Not all
web browsers implement JavaScript (e.g. text browsers such as Lynx),
and not all users have JavaScript enabled. Therefore instead of
unconditionally linking to 'blame_incremental' view, we use JavaScript
to convert those links to lead to view utilizing JavaScript, by adding
'js=1' to link.
Currently the only action that takes 'js=1' into account is 'blame',
which then acts as if it was called as 'blame_incremental' action.
Possible enhancement would be to do JavaScript redirect by setting
window.location instead of modifying $format and $action in
git_blame_common() subroutine.
The only JavaScript-aware/using view is currently 'blame_incremental'.
While at it move reading JavaScript to git_footer_html() subroutine.
Note that in this view we do not add 'js=1' currently (even though
perhaps we should; note that for consistency we should also add 'js=1'
in links added by JavaScript part of 'blame_incremental').
This idea was originally implemented by Petr Baudis in
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/47614
but it added <script> element with fixBlameLinks() function in page
header, to be added as onload event using 'onload' attribute of HTML
'body' element: <body onload="fixBlameLinks();">. This version adds
script at then end of page (in the page footer), and uses JavaScript
'window.onload=fixLinks();'. Also in Petr version only links marked
with 'blamelink' class were modified, and they were modified by
replacing "a=blame" by "a=blame_incremental"... which doesn't work for
path_info links, and might replace wrong part if there is "a=blame" in
project name, ref name or file name.
Slightly different solution was implemented by Martin Koegler in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/47902/focus=47905
Here GitAddLinks() function was in gitweb.js file, not as contents of
<script> element. It was also included in page header (in <head>
element) though, which means waiting for a script to load (and run).
It was smarter in that to "fix" (modify) link, it split URL, modified
value of 'a' parameter, and then recreated modified link. It avoids
trouble with "a=blame" as substring in project name or file name, but
it doesn't work with path_info URL/link in the way it was written.

Add 'blame_incremental' view, which uses "git blame --incremental"
and JavaScript (Ajax), where 'blame' use "git blame --porcelain".
* gitweb generates initial info by putting file contents (from
"git cat-file") together with line numbers in blame table
* then gitweb makes web browser JavaScript engine call startBlame()
function from gitweb.js
* startBlame() opens XMLHttpRequest connection to 'blame_data' view,
which in turn calls "git blame --incremental" for a file, and
streams output of git-blame to JavaScript (gitweb.js)
* XMLHttpRequest event handler updates line info in blame view as soon
as it gets data from 'blame_data' (from server), and it also updates
progress info
* when 'blame_data' ends, and gitweb.js finishes updating line info,
it fixes colors to match (as far as possible) ordinary 'blame' view,
and updates information about how long it took to generate page.
Gitweb deals with streamed 'blame_data' server errors by displaying
them in the progress info area (just in case).
The 'blame_incremental' view tries to be equivalent to 'blame' action;
there are however a few differences in output between 'blame' and
'blame_incremental' view:
* 'blame_incremental' always used query form for this part of link(s)
which is generated by JavaScript code. The difference is visible
if we use path_info link (pass some or all arguments in path_info).
Changing this would require implementing something akin to href()
subroutine from gitweb.perl in JavaScript (in gitweb.js).
* 'blame_incremental' always uses "rowspan" attribute, even if
rowspan="1". This simplifies code, and is not visible to user.
* The progress bar and progress info are still there even after
JavaScript part of 'blame_incremental' finishes work.
Note that currently no link generated by gitweb leads to this new view.
This code is based on patch by Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> patch, which
in turn was tweaked up version of Fredrik Kuivinen <frekui@gmail.com>'s
proof of concept patch.

Note that Time::HiRes is being required unconditionally; this is
because setting $t0 variable needs to be done fairly early to have

only if 'timed' feature is enabled, the earliest place where starting

benefits visualization in some older browsers;
* when hovering the subject, only the subject itself is underlined; when
hovering the ref markers, only the text in the hovered ref marker is

The XZ compression format uses the LZMA2 compression algorithm, which
often yields higher compression ratios than both GZip and BZip2 at the
cost of using more CPU time and RAM. XZ is the slowest for compression,
but still much faster than BZip2 for decompression, almost comparable
to GZip (see benchmarks below).
Some simple benchmarks show the pros and cons of using XZ compression;
starting with an already tarball'd archive of the repos listed below.

respective default compression levels.

From a time and memory perspective, nothing compares to GZip, but if
given an average upload speed of 20KB/s, it would take ~400 seconds
longer to transfer the BZip2'd kernel snapshot than the XZ snapshot;
the transfer time difference is even greater between GZip and XZ. The
real time savings are relatively the same for all test cases, but less
dramatic for smaller repositories.
XZ decompresses ~1.8-2 times slower than GZip, and ~2.7-3.75 times
faster than BZip2; XZ gets relatively faster as snapshots get larger.
However, XZ takes relatively longer to compress as snapshots get larger.
The downside for XZ'd snapshots is the large CPU and memory load put on
the server to generate the compressed snapshot, though XZ will
eventually
have threading support, and the real clock time for making XZ'd
snapshots
would decrease if the server had a beefy multi-core CPU.
XZ compression is disabled by default to allow upgrades to take place
without any surprises, as the CPU and memory requirements will be an
issue for high load or lightweight servers. Also, the XZ format is still
new (format declared stable ~6 months ago), and there have been no
"stable" releases of the utils yet.

Equality between file_parent and file_name was being checked without a
preliminary check for existence of the parameters.
Fix by wrapping the equality check in appropriate if (defined ...),
rearranging the lines to prevent excessive length.
