If there is a possibility that your logic could take longer to execute
than the interval time, it is recommended that you recursively call a
named function using window.setTimeout rather than window.setInterval.
Therefore instead of using setInterval as an alternate way of invoking
handleResponse (because some web browsers call onreadystatechange only
once per each distinct state, and not for each server flush), use
setTimeout and reset it from handleResponse. As a bonus this allows
us to get rid of timer if it turns out that web browser calls
onreadystatechange on each server flush.
While at it get rid of `xhr' global variable, creating it instead as
local variable in startBlame and passing it as parameter, and of
`pollTimer' global variable, passing it as member of xhr object
(xhr.pollTimer).

JavaScript is single-threaded, so there is no need for protecting
against changes to XMLHttpRequest object behind event handler back.
Therefore there is no need for loop that was here in case `xhr' got
new changes while processing current changes. This should make code a
bit more clear.

JavaScript is single-threaded, so there is no need for protection
against re-entrancy via inProgress variable.
In particular calls to setInterval handler are stacked if handler
doesn't finish before new interrupt (before new interval). The same
happens with events - they are (hopefully) stacked if even handler
didn't finish work.

This will modify HTML, add CSS rules and add DOM event handlers so
that clicking on any date (the common part, not the localtime part)
will display a drop down menu to choose the timezone to change to.
Currently menu displays only the following timezones:
utc
local
-1200
-1100
...
+1100
+1200
+1300
+1400
In timezone selection menu each timezone is +1hr to the previous. The
code is capable of handling fractional timezones, but those have not
been added to the menu.
All changes are saved to a cookie, so page changes and closing /
reopening browser retains the last known timezone setting used.
[jn: Changed from innerHTML to DOM, moved to event delegation for
onclick to trigger menu, added close button and cookie refreshing]

This patch is based on Kevin Cernekee's <cernekee@gmail.com>
patch series entitled "gitweb: introduce localtime feature". While
Kevin's patch changed the server side output so that the timezone
was output from gitweb itself, this has a number of drawbacks, in
particular with respect to gitweb-caching.
This patch takes the same basic goal, display the appropriate times in
a given common timezone, and implements it in JavaScript. This
requires adding / using a new class, "datetime", to be able to find
elements to be adjusted from JavaScript. Appropriate dates are
wrapped in a span with this class.
Timezone to be used can be retrieved from "gitweb_tz" cookie, though
currently there is no way to set / manipulate this cookie from gitweb;
this is left for later commit.
Valid timezones, currently, are: "utc", "local" (which means that
timezone is taken from browser), and "+/-ZZZZ" numeric timezone as in
RFC-2822. Default timezone is "local" (currently not configurable,
left for later commit).
Fallback (should JavaScript not be enabled) is to treat dates as they
have been and display them, only, in UTC.
Pages affected:
* 'summary' view, "last change" field (commit time from latest change)
* 'log' view, author time
* 'commit' and 'commitdiff' views, author/committer time
* 'tag' view, tagger time

The code is simplified and does not support full specification of
native getElementsByClassName method, but implements just subset that
would be enough for gitweb, supporting only single class name.

Move formatDateISOLocal(epoch, timezone) function (and also helper
timezoneOffset(timezoneInfo) function it requires) from common-lib.js to
datetime.js
Add new functions:
* localTimezoneOffset - to get browser timezone offset in seconds
* localTimezoneInfo - to get browser timezone in '(+|-)HHMM' format
* formatTimezoneInfo - turn offset in hours and minutes into '(+|-)HHMM'
* parseRFC2822Date - to parse RFC-2822 dates that gitweb uses into epoch
* formatDateRFC2882 - like formatDateISOLocal, only RFC-2822 format
All those functions are meant to be used in future commit
'gitweb: javascript ability to adjust time based on timezone'
An alternative would be to use e.g. Datejs (http://www.datejs.com)
library, or JavaScript framework that has date formatting (perhaps as
a plugin).
While at it escape '-' in character class inside tzRe regexp, as
recommended by JSLint (http://www.jslint.com).

This means that one can use padLeft(4, 2) and it would be equivalent
to runing padLeft(4, 2, '0'), and it would return '04' i.e. '4' padded
with '0' to width 2, to be used e.g. in formatting date and time.
This should make those functions easier to use. Current code doesn't
yet make use of this feature.

This consists of adding a few extra explanation, fixing descriptions
of functions to match names of parameters in code, adding a few
separators, and fixing spelling -- while at it spell 'neighbor' using
American spelling (and not as 'neighbour').
This is post-split cleanup.

Split originally single gitweb.js file into smaller files, each
dealing with single issue / area of responsibility. This move should
make gitweb's JavaScript code easier to maintain.
For better webapp performance it is recommended[1][2][3] to combine
JavaScript files. Do it during build time (in gitweb/Makefile), by
straight concatenation of files into gitweb.js file (which is now
ignored as being generated). This means that there are no changes to
gitweb script itself - it still uses gitweb.js or gitweb.min.js, but
now generated.
