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.

Combine external JavaScript files" [3]: http://javascript-reference.info/speed-up-your-javascript-load-time.htm "Combine Your Files" section. See also new gitweb/static/js/README file.

GIT web interface (gitweb) - JavaScript ======================================= This directory holds JavaScript code used by gitweb (GIT web interface). Scripts from there would be concatenated together in the order specified by gitweb/Makefile into gitweb/static/gitweb.js, during building of gitweb/gitweb.cgi (during gitweb building). The resulting file (or its minification) would then be installed / deployed together with gitweb. Scripts in 'lib/' subdirectory compose generic JavaScript library, providing features required by gitweb but in no way limited to gitweb only. In the future those scripts could be replaced by some JavaScript library / framework, like e.g. jQuery, YUI, Prototype, MooTools, Dojo, ExtJS, Script.aculo.us or SproutCore. All scripts that manipulate gitweb output should be put outside 'lib/', directly in this directory ('gitweb/static/js/'). Those scripts would have to be rewritten if gitweb moves to using some JavaScript library. See also comments in gitweb/Makefile.
