Matthias Lederhofer 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.

GIT web Interface
The one working on:
http://www.kernel.org/git/
From the git version 1.4.0 gitweb is bundled with git.
How to configure gitweb for your local system:
You can specify the following configuration variables when building GIT:
* GITWEB_SITENAME
Shown in the title of all generated pages, defaults to the servers name.
* GITWEB_PROJECTROOT
The root directory for all projects shown by gitweb.
* GITWEB_LIST
points to a directory to scan for projects (defaults to project root)
or to a file for explicit listing of projects.
* GITWEB_HOMETEXT
points to an .html file which is included on the gitweb project
overview page.
* GITWEB_CSS
Points to the location where you put gitweb.css on your web server.
* GITWEB_LOGO
Points to the location where you put git-logo.png on your web server.
* GITWEB_CONFIG
This file will be loaded using 'require'. If the environment
$GITWEB_CONFIG is set when gitweb.cgi is executed the file in the
environment variable will be loaded instead of the file
specified when gitweb.cgi was created.
