Add t9502-gitweb-standalone-parse-output test script, which runs gitweb as a CGI script from the commandline and checks that it produces the correct output. Currently this test script contains only tests of snapshot naming (proposed name of snapshot file) and snapshot prefix (prefix of files in the archive / snapshot). It defines and uses 'tar' snapshot format, without compression, for easy checking of snapshot prefix. Testing is done using check_snapshot function. Gitweb uses the following format for snapshot filenames: <sanitized project name>-<hash parameter><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 simply: <sanitized project name>/ Disadvantages of current snapshot rules: * There exists convention that <basename>.<suffix> archive unpacks to <basename>/ directory (<basename>/ is prefix of archive). Gitweb does not respect it * Snapshot links generated by gitweb use full SHA-1 id as a value of 'h' / $hash parameter. With current rules it leads to long file names like e.g. repo-1005c80cc11c531d327b12195027cbbb4ff9e3cb.tgz * For handcrafted URLs, where 'h' / $hash parameter is a symbolic 'volatile' revision name such as "HEAD" or "next" snapshot name doesn't tell us what exact version it was created from * Proposed filename in Content-Disposition header should not contain any directory path information, which means that it should not contain '/' (see RFC2183)... which means that snapshot naming is broken for $hash being e.g. hirearchical branch name such as 'xx/test' This would be improved in next commit.

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
