Teach the "log" UI to behave in the same way as "git log --follow", when
given a suitable instruction by the user. The default behaviour remains
to show the log without following renames, but the follow behaviour can
be activated by following a link in the page header.
Follow is not the default because outputting merges in follow mode is
tricky ("git log --follow" will not show merges). We also disable the
graph in follow mode because the commit graph is not simplified so we
end up with frequent gaps in the graph and many lines that do not
connect with any commits we're actually showing.
We also teach the "diff" and "commit" UIs to respect the follow flag on
URLs, causing the single-file version of these UIs to detect renames.
This feature is needed only for commits that rename the path we're
interested in.
For commits before the file has been renamed (i.e. that appear later in
the log list) we change the file path in the links from the log to point
to the old name; this means that links to commits always limit by the
path known to that commit. If we didn't do this we would need to walk
down the log diff'ing every commit whenever we want to show a commit.
The drawback is that the "Log" link in the top bar of such a page links
to the log limited by the old name, so it will only show pre-rename
commits. I consider this a reasonable trade-off since the "Back" button
still works and the log matches the path displayed in the top bar.
Since following renames requires running diff on every commit we
consider, I've added a knob to the configuration file to globally
enable/disable this feature. Note that we may consider a large number
of commits the revision walking machinery no longer performs any path
limitation so we have to examine every commit until we find a page full
of commits that affect the target path or something related to it.

If time-to-live is set to zero, we don't need to regenerate the cache
slots on every request. Instead, just skip the caching process and
immediately provide the dynamically generated version of the page.
Setting time-to-live to zero is useful when you want to disable caching
for certain pages.

This can be used to specify the TTL for snapshots. Snapshots are usually
static and do not ever change. On the other hand, tarball generation is
CPU intensive.
One use case of this setting (apart from increasing the lifetime of
snapshot cache slots) is caching of snapshots while disabling the cache
for static/dynamic HTML pages (by setting TTL to zero for everything
except for snapshot requests).

This leverages the new lua support. See
filters/simple-authentication.lua for explaination of how this works.
There is also additional documentation in cgitrc.5.txt.
Though this is a cookie-based approach, cgit's caching mechanism is
preserved for authenticated pages.
Very plugable and extendable depending on user needs.
The sample script uses an HMAC-SHA1 based cookie to store the
currently logged in user, with an expiration date.

We've long supported negative ttls, for infinite cache, except the
documentation incorrectly showed one of our defaults as being 5 and not
-1. As well, with a negative ttl, we were actually making the HTTP
expired header go backwards. This changes it to go ahead ten years
instead.
Further, we add an cache-about-ttl option to set a different ttl for
about pages, which are now increasingly being filtered through markdown
or just sent statically anyway.

After some back and forth with Jamie and René, it looks like the git
config semantics are going to be like this:
- gitweb.category maps to the cgit repo config key "section"
- gitweb.description maps to the cgit repo config key "desc"
- gitweb.owner maps to the cgit repo config key "owner"
- cgit.* maps to all cgit repo config keys
This option can be enabled with "enable-git-config=1", and replaces
all previous "enable-gitweb-*" config keys.
The order of operations is as follows:
- git config settings are applied in the order that they exist in
the git config file
- if the owner is not set from git config, get the owner using the
usual getpwuid call
- if the description is not set from git config, look inside the
static $path/description file
- if section-from-path=1, override whatever previous settings were
inside of git config using the section-from-path logic
- parse $path/cgitrc for local repo.* settings, that override all
previous settings
Add two options, one for doing the ordinary name sorts in a
case-insensitive manner, and another for choosing to sort repos in each
section by age instead of by name.
Some setenv() implementations (e.g. the one in OpenBSD's stdlib)
segfault if we pass a NULL value. Only set environment variables if the
corresponding settings are defined to avoid this.
Note that this is a minor behaviour change as environment variables were
supposed to be set to an empty string if a setting was undefined. Given
that this feature isn't part of any official release yet, there's no
need to worry about backwards compatibility, really. Change the
documentation accordingly.

This is a saner alternative than hardcoding the default branch to be
"master". The add_repo() function will now check for a symbolic ref in
repo_path/HEAD. If there is a suitable one, overwrite repo->defbranch
with it. Note that you'll need to strip the newline from the file (->
len-17).
If HEAD is a symbolic link pointing directly to a branch below
refs/heads/, do a readlink() instead to find the ref name.

The old default value was an abomination which never should have been
allowed to see the light of day.
This patch removes the default, which is a backwards incompatible change
with low probability of causing anyone any real trouble (a repo with
submodules, displayed by cgit using the default value of `module-link`,
is very unlikely to actually generate working links).

The current 'repo.module-link' option is sufficient when all gitlinks
in a repository can be converted to commit links in a uniform way, but
not when different submodules/paths needs different settings.
This patch adds support for 'repo.module-link.<path>', which will be
used for linking to submodules at paths matching one such entry.

The current 'clone-prefix' setting has some known issues:
* All repos get the same 'clone-prefix' value since the setting is not
adopted during repo registration (in cgitrc, or during scan-path traversal),
but only when the setting is used.
* The generated clone-urls for a repo is a combination of 'clone-prefix', a
slash and the repo url. This doesn't work well with e.g. ssh-style urls
like 'git@example.org:repo.git', since the inserted slash will make the
repo relative to the filesystem root.
* If 'remove-suffix' is enabled, the generated clone-urls will not work for
cloning (except for http-urls to cgit itself) since they miss the '.git'
suffix.
The new 'clone-url' setting is designed to avoid the mentioned issues:
* Each repo adopts the default 'clone-url' when the repo is defined. This
allows different groups of repos to adopt different values.
* The clone-urls for a repo is generated by expanding environment variables
in a string template without inserting arbitrary characters, hence any
kind of clone-url can be generated.
* Macro expansion also eases the 'remove-suffix' pain since it's now
possible to define e.g. 'clone-url=git://foo.org/$CGIT_REPO_URL.git' for
a set of repos. A furter improvement would be to define e.g.
$CGIT_REPO_SUFFIX to '.git' for all repos which had their url prettified,
or to store the original $CGIT_REPO_URL in e.g. $CGIT_REPO_REAL_URL before
suffix removal.
