A hyperfast web frontend for git repositories written in C.

Use "struct strbuf" from Git to remove the limit on file path length. Notes on scan-tree: This is slightly involved since I decided to pass the strbuf into add_repo() and modify if whenever a new file name is required, which should avoid any extra allocations within that function. The pattern there is to append the filename, use it and then reset the buffer to its original length (retaining a trailing '/'). Notes on ui-snapshot: Since write_archive modifies the argv array passed to it we copy the argv_array values into a new array of char* and then free the original argv_array structure and the new array without worrying about what the values now look like.

cgit - cgi for git
This is an attempt to create a fast web interface for the git scm, using a
builtin cache to decrease server io-pressure.
Installation
Building cgit involves building a proper version of git. How to do this
depends on how you obtained the cgit sources:
a) If you're working in a cloned cgit repository, you first need to
initialize and update the git submodule:
$ git submodule init # register the git submodule in .git/config
$ $EDITOR .git/config # if you want to specify a different url for git
$ git submodule update # clone/fetch and checkout correct git version
b) If you're building from a cgit tarball, you can download a proper git
version like this:
$ make get-git
When either a) or b) has been performed, you can build and install cgit like
this:
$ make
$ sudo make install
This will install cgit.cgi and cgit.css into "/var/www/htdocs/cgit". You can
configure this location (and a few other things) by providing a "cgit.conf"
file (see the Makefile for details).
Dependencies:
-git 1.7.4
-zip lib
-crypto lib
-openssl lib
Apache configuration
A new Directory-section must probably be added for cgit, possibly something
like this:
<Directory "/var/www/htdocs/cgit/">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Runtime configuration
The file /etc/cgitrc is read by cgit before handling a request. In addition
to runtime parameters, this file may also contain a list of repositories
displayed by cgit (see cgitrc.5.txt for further details).
The cache
When cgit is invoked it looks for a cachefile matching the request and
returns it to the client. If no such cachefile exist (or if it has expired),
the content for the request is written into the proper cachefile before the
file is returned.
If the cachefile has expired but cgit is unable to obtain a lock for it, the
stale cachefile is returned to the client. This is done to favour page
throughput over page freshness.
The generated content contains the complete response to the client, including
the http-headers "Modified" and "Expires".
