+------------------
+
+ * On some BSD systems, adding +s bit on directories is detrimental
+   (it is not necessary on BSD to begin with). "git init --shared"
+   has been updated to take this into account without extra makefile
+   settings on platforms the Makefile knows about.
+
+ * After incorrectly written third-party tools store a tag object in
+   HEAD, git diagnosed it as a repository corruption and refused to
+   proceed in order to avoid spreading the damage. We now gracefully
+   recover from such a situation by pretending as if the commit that
+   is pointed at by the tag were in HEAD.
+
+ * "git apply --whitespace=error" did not bother to report the exact
+   line number in the patch that introduced new blank lines at the end
+   of the file.
+
+ * "git apply --index" did not check corrupted patch.
+
+ * "git checkout $tree $directory/" resurrected paths locally removed or
+   modified only in the working tree in $directory/ that did not appear
+   in $directory of the given $tree. They should have been kept intact.
+
+ * "git diff $tree $path" used to apply the pathspec at the output stage,
+   reading the whole tree, wasting resources.
+
+ * The code to check for updated submodules during a "git fetch" of the
+   superproject had an unnecessary quadratic loop.
+
+ * "git fetch" from a large bundle did not enable the progress output.
+
+ * When "git fsck --lost-and-found" found that an empty blob object in the
+   object store is unreachable, it incorrectly reported an error after
+   writing the lost blob out successfully.
+
+ * "git filter-branch" did not refresh the index before checking that the
+   working tree was clean.
+
+ * "git grep $tree" when run with multiple threads had an unsafe access to
+   the object database that should have been protected with mutex.
+
+ * The "--ancestry-path" option to "git log" and friends misbehaved in a
+   history with complex criss-cross merges and showed an uninteresting
+   side history as well.
+
+ * Test t1304 assumed LOGNAME is always set, which may not be true on
+   some systems.
+
+ * Tests with --valgrind failed to find "mergetool" scriptlets.
+
+ * "git patch-id" miscomputed the patch-id in a patch that has a line longer
+   than 1kB.
+
+ * When an "exec" insn failed after modifying the index and/or the working
+   tree during "rebase -i", we now check and warn that the changes need to

+
+ * The replacement implemention for snprintf used on platforms with
+   native snprintf that is broken did not use va_copy correctly.

+ * "fast-import" did not correctly update an existing notes tree,

+
+ * "git fetch-pack" accepted unqualified refs that do not begin with
+   refs/ by mistake and compensated it by matching the refspec with
+   tail-match, which was doubly wrong. This broke fetching from a
+   repository with a funny named ref "refs/foo/refs/heads/master" and a
+   'master' branch with "git fetch-pack refs/heads/master", as the

+
+ * "git log --follow" did not honor the rename threshold score given
+   with the -M option (e.g. "-M50%").
+
+ * "git mv" gave suboptimal error/warning messages when it overwrites
+   target files. It also did not pay attention to "-v" option.

+
+ * "git push" to an empty repository over HTTP were broken with a

+

+ * "git branch" learned an explicit --list option to ask for branches
+   listed, optionally with a glob matching pattern to limit its output.
+
+ * "git check-attr" learned "--cached" option to look at .gitattributes
+   files from the index, not from the working tree.
+
+ * Variants of "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" that take multiple
+   commits learned to "--continue" and "--abort".
+
+ * "git daemon" gives more human readble error messages to clients
+   using ERR packets when appropriate.
+
+ * Errors at the network layer is logged by "git daemon".
+
+ * "git diff" learned "--minimal" option to spend extra cycles to come
+   up with a minimal patch output.
+
+ * "git diff" learned "--function-context" option to show the whole
+   function as context that was affected by a change.
+
+ * "git difftool" can be told to skip launching the tool for a path by
+   answering 'n' to its prompt.
+
+ * "git fetch" learned to honor transfer.fsckobjects configuration to
+   validate the objects that were received from the other end, just like
+   "git receive-pack" (the receiving end of "git push") does.
+
+ * "git fetch" makes sure that the set of objects it received from the
+   other end actually completes the history before updating the refs.
+   "git receive-pack" (the receiving end of "git push") learned to do the
+   same.
+
+ * "git fetch" learned that fetching/cloning from a regular file on the
+   filesystem is not necessarily a request to unpack a bundle file; the
+   file could be ".git" with "gitdir: <path>" in it.
+
+ * "git for-each-ref" learned "%(contents:subject)", "%(contents:body)"
+   and "%(contents:signature)". The last one is useful for signed tags.
+
+ * "git grep" used to incorrectly pay attention to .gitignore files
+   scattered in the directory it was working in even when "--no-index"
+   option was used. It no longer does this. The "--exclude-standard"
+   option needs to be given to explicitly activate the ignore
+   mechanism.
+
+ * "git grep" learned "--untracked" option, where given patterns are
+    searched in untracked (but not ignored) files as well as tracked
+    files in the working tree, so that matches in new but not yet
+    added files do not get missed.
+
+ * The recursive merge backend no longer looks for meaningless
+   existing merges in submodules unless in the outermost merge.
+
+ * "git log" and friends learned "--children" option.
+
+ * "git ls-remote" learned to respond to "-h"(elp) requests.
+
+ * "mediawiki" remote helper can interact with (surprise!) MediaWiki
+   with "git fetch" & "git push".
+
+ * "git merge" learned the "--edit" option to allow users to edit the
+   merge commit log message.
+
+ * "git rebase -i" can be told to use special purpose editor suitable
+   only for its insn sheet via sequence.editor configuration variable.
+
+ * "git send-email" learned to respond to "-h"(elp) requests.
+
+ * "git send-email" allows the value given to sendemail.aliasfile to begin
+   with "~/" to refer to the $HOME directory.
+
+ * "git send-email" forces use of Authen::SASL::Perl to work around
+   issues between Authen::SASL::Cyrus and AUTH PLAIN/LOGIN.
+
+ * "git stash" learned "--include-untracked" option to stash away
+   untracked/ignored cruft from the working tree.
+
+ * "git submodule clone" does not leak an error message to the UI
+   level unnecessarily anymore.
+
+ * "git submodule update" learned to honor "none" as the value for
+   submodule.<name>.update to specify that the named submodule should
+   not be checked out by default.
+
+ * When populating a new submodule directory with "git submodule init",
+   the $GIT_DIR metainformation directory for submodules is created inside
+   $GIT_DIR/modules/<name>/ directory of the superproject and referenced
+   via the gitfile mechanism. This is to make it possible to switch
+   between commits in the superproject that has and does not have the
+   submodule in the tree without re-cloning.
+
+ * "gitweb" leaked unescaped control characters from syntax hiliter
+   outputs.
+
+ * "gitweb" can be told to give custom string at the end of the HTML
+   HEAD element.
+
+ * "gitweb" now has its own manual pages.

+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.7.9
+------------------
+
+ * The makefile allowed environment variable X seep into it result in
+   command names suffixed with unnecessary strings.
+
+ * The set of included header files in compat/inet-{ntop,pton}
+   wrappers was updated for Windows some time ago, but in a way that
+   broke Solaris build.
+
+ * rpmbuild noticed an unpackaged but installed *.mo file and failed.
+
+ * Subprocesses spawned from various git programs were often left running
+   to completion even when the top-level process was killed.
+
+ * "git add -e" learned not to show a diff for an otherwise unmodified
+   submodule that only has uncommitted local changes in the patch
+   prepared by for the user to edit.
+
+ * Typo in "git branch --edit-description my-tpoic" was not diagnosed.
+
+ * Using "git grep -l/-L" together with options -W or --break may not
+   make much sense as the output is to only count the number of hits
+   and there is no place for file breaks, but the latter options made
+   "-l/-L" to miscount the hits.
+
+ * "git log --first-parent $pathspec" did not stay on the first parent
+   chain and veered into side branch from which the whole change to the
+   specified paths came.
+
+ * "git merge --no-edit $tag" failed to honor the --no-edit option.
+
+ * "git merge --ff-only $tag" failed because it cannot record the
+   required mergetag without creating a merge, but this is so common
+   operation for branch that is used _only_ to follow the upstream, so
+   it was changed to allow fast-forwarding without recording the mergetag.
+
+ * "git mergetool" now gives an empty file as the common base version
+   to the backend when dealing with the "both sides added, differently"
+   case.
+
+ * "git push -q" was not sufficiently quiet.
+
+ * When "git push" fails to update any refs, the client side did not
+   report an error correctly to the end user.
+
+ * "rebase" and "commit --amend" failed to work on commits with ancient
+   timestamps near year 1970.
+
+ * When asking for a tag to be pulled, "request-pull" did not show the
+   name of the tag prefixed with "tags/", which would have helped older
+   clients.
+
+ * "git submodule add $path" forgot to recompute the name to be stored
+   in .gitmodules when the submodule at $path was once added to the
+   superproject and already initialized.
+
+ * Many small corner case bugs on "git tag -n" was corrected.

+Fixes since v1.7.9.1
+--------------------
+
+ * Bash completion script (in contrib/) did not like a pattern that
+   begins with a dash to be passed to __git_ps1 helper function.
+
+ * Adaptation of the bash completion script (in contrib/) for zsh
+   incorrectly listed all subcommands when "git <TAB><TAB>" was given
+   to ask for list of porcelain subcommands.
+
+ * The build procedure for profile-directed optimized binary was not
+   working very well.
+
+ * Some systems need to explicitly link -lcharset to get locale_charset().
+
+ * t5541 ignored user-supplied port number used for HTTP server testing.
+
+ * The error message emitted when we see an empty loose object was
+   not phrased correctly.
+
+ * The code to ask for password did not fall back to the terminal
+   input when GIT_ASKPASS is set but does not work (e.g. lack of X
+   with GUI askpass helper).
+
+ * We failed to give the true terminal width to any subcommand when
+   they are invoked with the pager, i.e. "git -p cmd".
+
+ * map_user() was not rewriting its output correctly, which resulted
+   in the user visible symptom that "git blame -e" sometimes showed
+   excess '>' at the end of email addresses.
+
+ * "git checkout -b" did not allow switching out of an unborn branch.
+
+ * When you have both .../foo and .../foo.git, "git clone .../foo" did not
+   favor the former but the latter.
+
+ * "git commit" refused to create a commit when entries added with
+   "add -N" remained in the index, without telling Git what their content
+   in the next commit should be. We should have created the commit without
+   these paths.
+
+ * "git diff --stat" said "files", "insertions", and "deletions" even
+   when it is showing one "file", one "insertion" or one "deletion".
+
+ * The output from "git diff --stat" for two paths that have the same
+   amount of changes showed graph bars of different length due to the
+   way we handled rounding errors.
+
+ * "git grep" did not pay attention to -diff (hence -binary) attribute.
+
+ * The transport programs (fetch, push, clone)ignored --no-progress
+   and showed progress when sending their output to a terminal.
+
+ * Sometimes error status detected by a check in an earlier phase of
+   "git receive-pack" (the other end of "git push") was lost by later
+   checks, resulting in false indication of success.
+
+ * "git rev-list --verify" sometimes skipped verification depending on
+   the phase of the moon, which dates back to 1.7.8.x series.
+
+ * Search box in "gitweb" did not accept non-ASCII characters correctly.
+
+ * Search interface of "gitweb" did not show multiple matches in the same file
+   correctly.

+
+ * The config.mak.autogen generated by optional autoconf support tried
+   to link the binary with -lintl even when libintl.h is missing from
+   the system.
+
+ * When the filter driver exits before reading the content before the
+   main git process writes the contents to be filtered to the pipe to
+   it, the latter could be killed with SIGPIPE instead of ignoring
+   such an event as an error.
+
+ * "git add --refresh <pathspec>" used to warn about unmerged paths
+   outside the given pathspec.
+
+ * The bulk check-in codepath in "git add" streamed contents that
+   needs smudge/clean filters without running them, instead of punting
+   and delegating to the codepath to run filters after slurping
+   everything to core.
+
+ * "git branch --with $that" assumed incorrectly that the user will never
+   ask the question with nonsense value in $that.
+
+ * "git bundle create" produced a corrupt bundle file upon seeing
+   commits with excessively long subject line.
+
+ * When a remote helper exits before reading the blank line from the
+   main git process to signal the end of commands, the latter could be
+   killed with SIGPIPE. Instead we should ignore such event as a
+   non-error.
+
+ * The commit log template given with "git merge --edit" did not have
+   a short instructive text like what "git commit" gives.
+
+ * "git rev-list --verify-objects -q" omitted the extra verification
+   it needs to do over "git rev-list --objects -q" by mistake.
+
+ * "gitweb" used to drop warnings in the log file when "heads" view is
+   accessed in a repository whose HEAD does not point at a valid
+   branch.
+
+ * An invalid regular expression pattern given by an end user made
+   "gitweb" to return garbled response.

+Git v1.7.9 Release Notes
+========================
+
+Updates since v1.7.8
+--------------------
+
+ * gitk updates accumulated since early 2011.
+
+ * git-gui updated to 0.16.0.
+
+ * git-p4 (in contrib/) updates.
+
+ * Git uses gettext to translate its most common interface messages
+   into the user's language if translations are available and the
+   locale is appropriately set. Distributors can drop new PO files
+   in po/ to add new translations.
+
+ * The code to handle username/password for HTTP transactions used in
+   "git push" & "git fetch" learned to talk "credential API" to
+   external programs to cache or store them, to allow integration with
+   platform native keychain mechanisms.
+
+ * The input prompts in the terminal use our own getpass() replacement
+   when possible. HTTP transactions used to ask for the username without
+   echoing back what was typed, but with this change you will see it as
+   you type.
+
+ * The internals of "revert/cherry-pick" have been tweaked to prepare
+   building more generic "sequencer" on top of the implementation that
+   drives them.
+
+ * "git rev-parse FETCH_HEAD" after "git fetch" without specifying
+   what to fetch from the command line will now show the commit that
+   would be merged if the command were "git pull".
+
+ * "git add" learned to stream large files directly into a packfile
+   instead of writing them into individual loose object files.
+
+ * "git checkout -B <current branch> <elsewhere>" is a more intuitive
+   way to spell "git reset --keep <elsewhere>".
+
+ * "git checkout" and "git merge" learned "--no-overwrite-ignore" option
+   to tell Git that untracked and ignored files are not expendable.
+
+ * "git commit --amend" learned "--no-edit" option to say that the
+   user is amending the tree being recorded, without updating the
+   commit log message.
+
+ * "git commit" and "git reset" re-learned the optimization to prime
+   the cache-tree information in the index, which makes it faster to
+   write a tree object out after the index entries are updated.
+
+ * "git commit" detects and rejects an attempt to stuff NUL byte in
+   the commit log message.
+
+ * "git commit" learned "-S" to GPG-sign the commit; this can be shown
+   with the "--show-signature" option to "git log".
+
+ * fsck and prune are relatively lengthy operations that still go
+   silent while making the end-user wait. They learned to give progress
+   output like other slow operations.
+
+ * The set of built-in function-header patterns for various languages
+   knows MATLAB.
+
+ * "git log --format='<format>'" learned new %g[nNeE] specifiers to
+   show information from the reflog entries when walking the reflog
+   (i.e. with "-g").
+
+ * "git pull" can be used to fetch and merge an annotated/signed tag,
+   instead of the tip of a topic branch. The GPG signature from the
+   signed tag is recorded in the resulting merge commit for later
+   auditing.
+
+ * "git log" learned "--show-signature" option to show the signed tag
+   that was merged that is embedded in the merge commit. It also can
+   show the signature made on the commit with "git commit -S".
+
+ * "git branch --edit-description" can be used to add descriptive text
+   to explain what a topic branch is about.
+
+ * "git fmt-merge-msg" learned to take the branch description into
+   account when preparing a merge summary that "git merge" records
+   when merging a local branch.
+
+ * "git request-pull" has been updated to convey more information
+   useful for integrators to decide if a topic is worth merging and
+   what is pulled is indeed what the requestor asked to pull,
+   including:
+
+   - the tip of the branch being requested to be merged;
+   - the branch description describing what the topic is about;
+   - the contents of the annotated tag, when requesting to pull a tag.
+
+ * "git pull" learned to notice 'pull.rebase' configuration variable,
+   which serves as a global fallback for setting 'branch.<name>.rebase'
+   configuration variable per branch.
+
+ * "git tag" learned "--cleanup" option to control how the whitespaces
+   and empty lines in tag message are cleaned up.
+
+ * "gitweb" learned to show side-by-side diff.
+
+Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.

+git-credential-cache - helper to temporarily store passwords in memory
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+-----------------------------
+git config credential.helper 'cache [options]'
+-----------------------------
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+This command caches credentials in memory for use by future git
+programs. The stored credentials never touch the disk, and are forgotten
+after a configurable timeout.  The cache is accessible over a Unix
+domain socket, restricted to the current user by filesystem permissions.
+
+You probably don't want to invoke this command directly; it is meant to
+be used as a credential helper by other parts of git. See
+linkgit:gitcredentials[7] or `EXAMPLES` below.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+--timeout <seconds>::
+
+	Number of seconds to cache credentials (default: 900).
+
+--socket <path>::
+
+	Use `<path>` to contact a running cache daemon (or start a new
+	cache daemon if one is not started). Defaults to
+	`~/.git-credential-cache/socket`. If your home directory is on a
+	network-mounted filesystem, you may need to change this to a
+	local filesystem.
+
+CONTROLLING THE DAEMON
+----------------------
+
+If you would like the daemon to exit early, forgetting all cached
+credentials before their timeout, you can issue an `exit` action:
+
+--------------------------------------
+git credential-cache exit
+--------------------------------------
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+The point of this helper is to reduce the number of times you must type
+your username or password. For example:
+
+------------------------------------
+$ git config credential.helper cache
+$ git push http://example.com/repo.git
+Username: <type your username>
+Password: <type your password>
+
+[work for 5 more minutes]
+$ git push http://example.com/repo.git
+[your credentials are used automatically]
+------------------------------------
+
+You can provide options via the credential.helper configuration
+variable (this example drops the cache time to 5 minutes):

+
+NOTE: Using this helper will store your passwords unencrypted on disk,

+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+--store=<path>::
+
+	Use `<path>` to store credentials. The file will have its
+	filesystem permissions set to prevent other users on the system
+	from reading it, but will not be encrypted or otherwise
+	protected. Defaults to `~/.git-credentials`.
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+The point of this helper is to reduce the number of times you must type
+your username or password. For example:
+
+------------------------------------------
+$ git config credential.helper store
+$ git push http://example.com/repo.git
+Username: <type your username>
+Password: <type your password>
+
+[several days later]
+$ git push http://example.com/repo.git
+[your credentials are used automatically]
+------------------------------------------
+
+STORAGE FORMAT
+--------------
+
+The `.git-credentials` file is stored in plaintext. Each credential is
+stored on its own line as a URL like:
+
+------------------------------
+https://user:pass@example.com
+------------------------------
+
+When git needs authentication for a particular URL context,
+credential-store will consider that context a pattern to match against
+each entry in the credentials file.  If the protocol, hostname, and
+username (if we already have one) match, then the password is returned
+to git. See the discussion of configuration in linkgit:gitcredentials[7]
+for more information.

 Any corrupt objects you will have to find in backups or other archives
 (i.e., you can just remove them and do an 'rsync' with some other site in
 the hopes that somebody else has the object you have corrupted).
 
-Of course, "valid tree" doesn't mean that it wasn't generated by some
-evil person, and the end result might be crap. git is a revision
-tracking system, not a quality assurance system ;)

+'git p4 clone' [<sync options>] [<clone options>] <p4 depot path>...
+'git p4 sync' [<sync options>] [<p4 depot path>...]
+'git p4 rebase'

+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This command provides a way to interact with p4 repositories
+using git.
+
+Create a new git repository from an existing p4 repository using
+'git p4 clone', giving it one or more p4 depot paths.  Incorporate
+new commits from p4 changes with 'git p4 sync'.  The 'sync' command
+is also used to include new branches from other p4 depot paths.
+Submit git changes back to p4 using 'git p4 submit'.  The command
+'git p4 rebase' does a sync plus rebases the current branch onto
+the updated p4 remote branch.
+
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+* Create an alias for 'git p4', using the full path to the 'git-p4'
+  script if needed:
++
+------------
+$ git config --global alias.p4 '!git-p4'
+------------
+
+* Clone a repository:
++
+------------
+$ git p4 clone //depot/path/project
+------------
+
+* Do some work in the newly created git repository:
++
+------------
+$ cd project
+$ vi foo.h
+$ git commit -a -m "edited foo.h"
+------------
+
+* Update the git repository with recent changes from p4, rebasing your
+  work on top:
++
+------------
+$ git p4 rebase
+------------
+
+* Submit your commits back to p4:
++
+------------
+$ git p4 submit
+------------
+
+
+COMMANDS
+--------
+
+Clone
+~~~~~
+Generally, 'git p4 clone' is used to create a new git directory
+from an existing p4 repository:
+------------
+$ git p4 clone //depot/path/project
+------------
+This:
+
+1.   Creates an empty git repository in a subdirectory called 'project'.
++
+2.   Imports the full contents of the head revision from the given p4
+depot path into a single commit in the git branch 'refs/remotes/p4/master'.
++
+3.   Creates a local branch, 'master' from this remote and checks it out.
+
+To reproduce the entire p4 history in git, use the '@all' modifier on
+the depot path:
+------------
+$ git p4 clone //depot/path/project@all
+------------
+
+
+Sync
+~~~~
+As development continues in the p4 repository, those changes can
+be included in the git repository using:
+------------
+$ git p4 sync
+------------
+This command finds new changes in p4 and imports them as git commits.
+
+P4 repositories can be added to an existing git repository using
+'git p4 sync' too:
+------------
+$ mkdir repo-git
+$ cd repo-git
+$ git init
+$ git p4 sync //path/in/your/perforce/depot
+------------
+This imports the specified depot into
+'refs/remotes/p4/master' in an existing git repository.  The
+'--branch' option can be used to specify a different branch to
+be used for the p4 content.
+
+If a git repository includes branches 'refs/remotes/origin/p4', these
+will be fetched and consulted first during a 'git p4 sync'.  Since
+importing directly from p4 is considerably slower than pulling changes
+from a git remote, this can be useful in a multi-developer environment.
+
+
+Rebase
+~~~~~~
+A common working pattern is to fetch the latest changes from the p4 depot
+and merge them with local uncommitted changes.  Often, the p4 repository
+is the ultimate location for all code, thus a rebase workflow makes
+sense.  This command does 'git p4 sync' followed by 'git rebase' to move
+local commits on top of updated p4 changes.
+------------
+$ git p4 rebase
+------------
+
+
+Submit
+~~~~~~
+Submitting changes from a git repository back to the p4 repository
+requires a separate p4 client workspace.  This should be specified
+using the 'P4CLIENT' environment variable or the git configuration
+variable 'git-p4.client'.  The p4 client must exist, but the client root
+will be created and populated if it does not already exist.
+
+To submit all changes that are in the current git branch but not in
+the 'p4/master' branch, use:
+------------
+$ git p4 submit
+------------
+
+To specify a branch other than the current one, use:
+------------
+$ git p4 submit topicbranch
+------------
+
+The upstream reference is generally 'refs/remotes/p4/master', but can
+be overridden using the '--origin=' command-line option.
+
+The p4 changes will be created as the user invoking 'git p4 submit'. The
+'--preserve-user' option will cause ownership to be modified
+according to the author of the git commit.  This option requires admin
+privileges in p4, which can be granted using 'p4 protect'.
+
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+General options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+All commands except clone accept this option.
+
+--git-dir <dir>::
+	Set the 'GIT_DIR' environment variable.  See linkgit:git[1].
+
+Sync options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+These options can be used in the initial 'clone' as well as in
+subsequent 'sync' operations.
+
+--branch <branch>::
+	Import changes into given branch.  If the branch starts with
+	'refs/', it will be used as is, otherwise the path 'refs/heads/'
+	will be prepended.  The default branch is 'master'.  If used
+	with an initial clone, no HEAD will be checked out.
++
+This example imports a new remote "p4/proj2" into an existing
+git repository:
+----
+    $ git init
+    $ git p4 sync --branch=refs/remotes/p4/proj2 //depot/proj2
+----
+
+--detect-branches::
+	Use the branch detection algorithm to find new paths in p4.  It is
+	documented below in "BRANCH DETECTION".
+
+--changesfile <file>::
+	Import exactly the p4 change numbers listed in 'file', one per
+	line.  Normally, 'git p4' inspects the current p4 repository
+	state and detects the changes it should import.
+
+--silent::
+	Do not print any progress information.
+
+--verbose::
+	Provide more progress information.
+
+--detect-labels::
+	Query p4 for labels associated with the depot paths, and add
+	them as tags in git.
+
+--import-local::
+	By default, p4 branches are stored in 'refs/remotes/p4/',
+	where they will be treated as remote-tracking branches by
+	linkgit:git-branch[1] and other commands.  This option instead
+	puts p4 branches in 'refs/heads/p4/'.  Note that future
+	sync operations must specify '--import-local' as well so that
+	they can find the p4 branches in refs/heads.
+
+--max-changes <n>::
+	Limit the number of imported changes to 'n'.  Useful to
+	limit the amount of history when using the '@all' p4 revision
+	specifier.
+
+--keep-path::
+	The mapping of file names from the p4 depot path to git, by
+	default, involves removing the entire depot path.  With this
+	option, the full p4 depot path is retained in git.  For example,
+	path '//depot/main/foo/bar.c', when imported from
+	'//depot/main/', becomes 'foo/bar.c'.  With '--keep-path', the
+	git path is instead 'depot/main/foo/bar.c'.
+
+--use-client-spec::
+	Use a client spec to find the list of interesting files in p4.
+	See the "CLIENT SPEC" section below.
+
+Clone options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+These options can be used in an initial 'clone', along with the 'sync'
+options described above.
+
+--destination <directory>::
+	Where to create the git repository.  If not provided, the last
+	component in the p4 depot path is used to create a new
+	directory.
+
+--bare::
+	Perform a bare clone.  See linkgit:git-clone[1].
+
+-/ <path>::
+	Exclude selected depot paths when cloning.
+
+Submit options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+These options can be used to modify 'git p4 submit' behavior.
+
+--verbose::
+	Provide more progress information.
+
+--origin <commit>::
+	Upstream location from which commits are identified to submit to
+	p4.  By default, this is the most recent p4 commit reachable
+	from 'HEAD'.
+
+-M[<n>]::
+	Detect renames.  See linkgit:git-diff[1].  Renames will be
+	represented in p4 using explicit 'move' operations.  There
+	is no corresponding option to detect copies, but there are
+	variables for both moves and copies.
+
+--preserve-user::
+	Re-author p4 changes before submitting to p4.  This option
+	requires p4 admin privileges.
+
+
+DEPOT PATH SYNTAX
+-----------------
+The p4 depot path argument to 'git p4 sync' and 'git p4 clone' can
+be one or more space-separated p4 depot paths, with an optional
+p4 revision specifier on the end:
+
+"//depot/my/project"::
+    Import one commit with all files in the '#head' change under that tree.
+
+"//depot/my/project@all"::
+    Import one commit for each change in the history of that depot path.
+
+"//depot/my/project@1,6"::
+    Import only changes 1 through 6.
+
+"//depot/proj1@all //depot/proj2@all"::
+    Import all changes from both named depot paths into a single
+    repository.  Only files below these directories are included.
+    There is not a subdirectory in git for each "proj1" and "proj2".
+    You must use the '--destination' option when specifying more
+    than one depot path.  The revision specifier must be specified
+    identically on each depot path.  If there are files in the
+    depot paths with the same name, the path with the most recently
+    updated version of the file is the one that appears in git.
+
+See 'p4 help revisions' for the full syntax of p4 revision specifiers.
+
+
+CLIENT SPEC
+-----------
+The p4 client specification is maintained with the 'p4 client' command
+and contains among other fields, a View that specifies how the depot
+is mapped into the client repository.  The 'clone' and 'sync' commands
+can consult the client spec when given the '--use-client-spec' option or
+when the useClientSpec variable is true.  After 'git p4 clone', the
+useClientSpec variable is automatically set in the repository
+configuration file.  This allows future 'git p4 submit' commands to
+work properly; the submit command looks only at the variable and does
+not have a command-line option.
+
+The full syntax for a p4 view is documented in 'p4 help views'.  Git-p4
+knows only a subset of the view syntax.  It understands multi-line
+mappings, overlays with '+', exclusions with '-' and double-quotes
+around whitespace.  Of the possible wildcards, git-p4 only handles
+'...', and only when it is at the end of the path.  Git-p4 will complain
+if it encounters an unhandled wildcard.
+
+The name of the client can be given to git-p4 in multiple ways.  The
+variable 'git-p4.client' takes precedence if it exists.  Otherwise,
+normal p4 mechanisms of determining the client are used:  environment
+variable P4CLIENT, a file referenced by P4CONFIG, or the local host name.
+
+
+BRANCH DETECTION
+----------------
+P4 does not have the same concept of a branch as git.  Instead,
+p4 organizes its content as a directory tree, where by convention
+different logical branches are in different locations in the tree.
+The 'p4 branch' command is used to maintain mappings between
+different areas in the tree, and indicate related content.  'git p4'
+can use these mappings to determine branch relationships.
+
+If you have a repository where all the branches of interest exist as
+subdirectories of a single depot path, you can use '--detect-branches'
+when cloning or syncing to have 'git p4' automatically find
+subdirectories in p4, and to generate these as branches in git.
+
+For example, if the P4 repository structure is:
+----
+//depot/main/...
+//depot/branch1/...
+----
+
+And "p4 branch -o branch1" shows a View line that looks like:
+----
+//depot/main/... //depot/branch1/...
+----
+
+Then this 'git p4 clone' command:
+----
+git p4 clone --detect-branches //depot@all
+----
+produces a separate branch in 'refs/remotes/p4/' for //depot/main,
+called 'master', and one for //depot/branch1 called 'depot/branch1'.
+
+However, it is not necessary to create branches in p4 to be able to use
+them like branches.  Because it is difficult to infer branch
+relationships automatically, a git configuration setting
+'git-p4.branchList' can be used to explicitly identify branch
+relationships.  It is a list of "source:destination" pairs, like a
+simple p4 branch specification, where the "source" and "destination" are
+the path elements in the p4 repository.  The example above relied on the
+presence of the p4 branch.  Without p4 branches, the same result will
+occur with:
+----
+git config git-p4.branchList main:branch1
+git p4 clone --detect-branches //depot@all
+----
+
+
+PERFORMANCE
+-----------
+The fast-import mechanism used by 'git p4' creates one pack file for
+each invocation of 'git p4 sync'.  Normally, git garbage compression
+(linkgit:git-gc[1]) automatically compresses these to fewer pack files,
+but explicit invocation of 'git repack -adf' may improve performance.
+
+
+CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
+-----------------------
+The following config settings can be used to modify 'git p4' behavior.
+They all are in the 'git-p4' section.
+
+General variables
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+git-p4.user::
+	User specified as an option to all p4 commands, with '-u <user>'.
+	The environment variable 'P4USER' can be used instead.
+
+git-p4.password::
+	Password specified as an option to all p4 commands, with
+	'-P <password>'.
+	The environment variable 'P4PASS' can be used instead.
+
+git-p4.port::
+	Port specified as an option to all p4 commands, with
+	'-p <port>'.
+	The environment variable 'P4PORT' can be used instead.
+
+git-p4.host::
+	Host specified as an option to all p4 commands, with
+	'-h <host>'.
+	The environment variable 'P4HOST' can be used instead.
+
+git-p4.client::
+	Client specified as an option to all p4 commands, with
+	'-c <client>', including the client spec.
+
+Clone and sync variables
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+git-p4.syncFromOrigin::
+	Because importing commits from other git repositories is much faster
+	than importing them from p4, a mechanism exists to find p4 changes
+	first in git remotes.  If branches exist under 'refs/remote/origin/p4',
+	those will be fetched and used when syncing from p4.  This
+	variable can be set to 'false' to disable this behavior.
+
+git-p4.branchUser::
+	One phase in branch detection involves looking at p4 branches
+	to find new ones to import.  By default, all branches are
+	inspected.  This option limits the search to just those owned
+	by the single user named in the variable.
+
+git-p4.branchList::
+	List of branches to be imported when branch detection is
+	enabled.  Each entry should be a pair of branch names separated
+	by a colon (:).  This example declares that both branchA and
+	branchB were created from main:
+-------------
+git config       git-p4.branchList main:branchA
+git config --add git-p4.branchList main:branchB
+-------------
+
+git-p4.useClientSpec::
+	Specify that the p4 client spec should be used to identify p4
+	depot paths of interest.  This is equivalent to specifying the
+	option '--use-client-spec'.  See the "CLIENT SPEC" section above.
+	This variable is a boolean, not the name of a p4 client.
+
+Submit variables
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+git-p4.detectRenames::
+	Detect renames.  See linkgit:git-diff[1].
+
+git-p4.detectCopies::
+	Detect copies.  See linkgit:git-diff[1].
+
+git-p4.detectCopiesHarder::
+	Detect copies harder.  See linkgit:git-diff[1].
+
+git-p4.preserveUser::
+	On submit, re-author changes to reflect the git author,
+	regardless of who invokes 'git p4 submit'.
+
+git-p4.allowMissingP4Users::
+	When 'preserveUser' is true, 'git p4' normally dies if it
+	cannot find an author in the p4 user map.  This setting
+	submits the change regardless.
+
+git-p4.skipSubmitEdit::
+	The submit process invokes the editor before each p4 change
+	is submitted.  If this setting is true, though, the editing
+	step is skipped.
+
+git-p4.skipSubmitEditCheck::
+	After editing the p4 change message, 'git p4' makes sure that
+	the description really was changed by looking at the file
+	modification time.  This option disables that test.
+
+git-p4.allowSubmit::
+	By default, any branch can be used as the source for a 'git p4
+	submit' operation.  This configuration variable, if set, permits only
+	the named branches to be used as submit sources.  Branch names
+	must be the short names (no "refs/heads/"), and should be
+	separated by commas (","), with no spaces.
+
+git-p4.skipUserNameCheck::
+	If the user running 'git p4 submit' does not exist in the p4
+	user map, 'git p4' exits.  This option can be used to force
+	submission regardless.
+
+
+IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
+----------------------
+* Changesets from p4 are imported using git fast-import.
+* Cloning or syncing does not require a p4 client; file contents are
+  collected using 'p4 print'.
+* Submitting requires a p4 client, which is not in the same location
+  as the git repository.  Patches are applied, one at a time, to
+  this p4 client and submitted from there.
+* Each commit imported by 'git p4' has a line at the end of the log
+  message indicating the p4 depot location and change number.  This
+  line is used by later 'git p4 sync' operations to know which p4
+  changes are new.

+NAME
+----
+gitcredentials - providing usernames and passwords to git
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+------------------
+git config credential.https://example.com.username myusername
+git config credential.helper "$helper $options"
+------------------
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+Git will sometimes need credentials from the user in order to perform
+operations; for example, it may need to ask for a username and password
+in order to access a remote repository over HTTP. This manual describes
+the mechanisms git uses to request these credentials, as well as some
+features to avoid inputting these credentials repeatedly.
+
+REQUESTING CREDENTIALS
+----------------------
+
+Without any credential helpers defined, git will try the following
+strategies to ask the user for usernames and passwords:
+
+1. If the `GIT_ASKPASS` environment variable is set, the program
+   specified by the variable is invoked. A suitable prompt is provided
+   to the program on the command line, and the user's input is read
+   from its standard output.
+
+2. Otherwise, if the `core.askpass` configuration variable is set, its
+   value is used as above.
+
+3. Otherwise, if the `SSH_ASKPASS` environment variable is set, its
+   value is used as above.
+
+4. Otherwise, the user is prompted on the terminal.
+
+AVOIDING REPETITION
+-------------------
+
+It can be cumbersome to input the same credentials over and over.  Git
+provides two methods to reduce this annoyance:
+
+1. Static configuration of usernames for a given authentication context.
+
+2. Credential helpers to cache or store passwords, or to interact with
+   a system password wallet or keychain.
+
+The first is simple and appropriate if you do not have secure storage available
+for a password. It is generally configured by adding this to your config:
+
+---------------------------------------
+[credential "https://example.com"]
+	username = me
+---------------------------------------
+
+Credential helpers, on the other hand, are external programs from which git can
+request both usernames and passwords; they typically interface with secure
+storage provided by the OS or other programs.
+
+To use a helper, you must first select one to use. Git currently
+includes the following helpers:
+
+cache::
+
+	Cache credentials in memory for a short period of time. See
+	linkgit:git-credential-cache[1] for details.
+
+store::
+
+	Store credentials indefinitely on disk. See
+	linkgit:git-credential-store[1] for details.
+
+You may also have third-party helpers installed; search for
+`credential-*` in the output of `git help -a`, and consult the
+documentation of individual helpers.  Once you have selected a helper,
+you can tell git to use it by putting its name into the
+credential.helper variable.
+
+1. Find a helper.
++
+-------------------------------------------
+$ git help -a | grep credential-
+credential-foo
+-------------------------------------------
+
+2. Read its description.
++
+-------------------------------------------
+$ git help credential-foo
+-------------------------------------------
+
+3. Tell git to use it.
++
+-------------------------------------------
+$ git config --global credential.helper foo
+-------------------------------------------
+
+If there are multiple instances of the `credential.helper` configuration
+variable, each helper will be tried in turn, and may provide a username,
+password, or nothing. Once git has acquired both a username and a
+password, no more helpers will be tried.
+
+
+CREDENTIAL CONTEXTS
+-------------------
+
+Git considers each credential to have a context defined by a URL. This context
+is used to look up context-specific configuration, and is passed to any
+helpers, which may use it as an index into secure storage.
+
+For instance, imagine we are accessing `https://example.com/foo.git`. When git
+looks into a config file to see if a section matches this context, it will
+consider the two a match if the context is a more-specific subset of the
+pattern in the config file. For example, if you have this in your config file:
+
+--------------------------------------
+[credential "https://example.com"]
+	username = foo
+--------------------------------------
+
+then we will match: both protocols are the same, both hosts are the same, and
+the "pattern" URL does not care about the path component at all. However, this
+context would not match:
+
+--------------------------------------
+[credential "https://kernel.org"]
+	username = foo
+--------------------------------------
+
+because the hostnames differ. Nor would it match `foo.example.com`; git
+compares hostnames exactly, without considering whether two hosts are part of
+the same domain. Likewise, a config entry for `http://example.com` would not
+match: git compares the protocols exactly.
+
+
+CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
+---------------------
+
+Options for a credential context can be configured either in
+`credential.\*` (which applies to all credentials), or
+`credential.<url>.\*`, where <url> matches the context as described
+above.
+
+The following options are available in either location:
+
+helper::
+
+	The name of an external credential helper, and any associated options.
+	If the helper name is not an absolute path, then the string `git
+	credential-` is prepended. The resulting string is executed by the
+	shell (so, for example, setting this to `foo --option=bar` will execute
+	`git credential-foo --option=bar` via the shell. See the manual of
+	specific helpers for examples of their use.
+
+username::
+
+	A default username, if one is not provided in the URL.
+
+useHttpPath::
+
+	By default, git does not consider the "path" component of an http URL
+	to be worth matching via external helpers. This means that a credential
+	stored for `https://example.com/foo.git` will also be used for
+	`https://example.com/bar.git`. If you do want to distinguish these
+	cases, set this option to `true`.
+
+
+CUSTOM HELPERS
+--------------
+
+You can write your own custom helpers to interface with any system in
+which you keep credentials. See the documentation for git's
+link:technical/api-credentials.html[credentials API] for details.

+NAME
+----
+gitweb.conf - Gitweb (git web interface) configuration file
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+/etc/gitweb.conf, /etc/gitweb-common.conf, $GITWEBDIR/gitweb_config.perl
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+The gitweb CGI script for viewing Git repositories over the web uses a
+perl script fragment as its configuration file.  You can set variables
+using "`our $variable = value`"; text from a "#" character until the
+end of a line is ignored.  See *perlsyn*(1) for details.
+
+An example:
+
+    # gitweb configuration file for http://git.example.org
+    #
+    our $projectroot = "/srv/git"; # FHS recommendation
+    our $site_name = 'Example.org >> Repos';
+
+
+The configuration file is used to override the default settings that
+were built into gitweb at the time the 'gitweb.cgi' script was generated.
+
+While one could just alter the configuration settings in the gitweb
+CGI itself, those changes would be lost upon upgrade.  Configuration
+settings might also be placed into a file in the same directory as the
+CGI script with the default name 'gitweb_config.perl' -- allowing
+one to have multiple gitweb instances with different configurations by
+the use of symlinks.
+
+Note that some configuration can be controlled on per-repository rather than
+gitweb-wide basis: see "Per-repository gitweb configuration" subsection on
+linkgit:gitweb[1] manpage.
+
+
+DISCUSSION
+----------
+Gitweb reads configuration data from the following sources in the
+following order:
+
+ * built-in values (some set during build stage),
+
+ * common system-wide configuration file (defaults to
+   '/etc/gitweb-common.conf'),
+
+ * either per-instance configuration file (defaults to 'gitweb_config.perl'
+   in the same directory as the installed gitweb), or if it does not exists
+   then fallback system-wide configuration file (defaults to '/etc/gitweb.conf').
+
+Values obtained in later configuration files override values obtained earlier
+in the above sequence.
+
+Locations of the common system-wide configuration file, the fallback
+system-wide configuration file and the per-instance configuration file
+are defined at compile time using build-time Makefile configuration
+variables, respectively `GITWEB_CONFIG_COMMON`, `GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM`
+and `GITWEB_CONFIG`.
+
+You can also override locations of gitweb configuration files during
+runtime by setting the following environment variables:
+`GITWEB_CONFIG_COMMON`, `GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM` and `GITWEB_CONFIG`
+to a non-empty value.
+
+
+The syntax of the configuration files is that of Perl, since these files are
+handled by sourcing them as fragments of Perl code (the language that
+gitweb itself is written in). Variables are typically set using the
+`our` qualifier (as in "`our $variable = <value>;`") to avoid syntax
+errors if a new version of gitweb no longer uses a variable and therefore
+stops declaring it.
+
+You can include other configuration file using read_config_file()
+subroutine.  For example, one might want to put gitweb configuration
+related to access control for viewing repositories via Gitolite (one
+of git repository management tools) in a separate file, e.g. in
+'/etc/gitweb-gitolite.conf'.  To include it, put
+
+--------------------------------------------------
+read_config_file("/etc/gitweb-gitolite.conf");
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+somewhere in gitweb configuration file used, e.g. in per-installation
+gitweb configuration file.  Note that read_config_file() checks itself
+that the file it reads exists, and does nothing if it is not found.
+It also handles errors in included file.
+
+
+The default configuration with no configuration file at all may work
+perfectly well for some installations.  Still, a configuration file is
+useful for customizing or tweaking the behavior of gitweb in many ways, and
+some optional features will not be present unless explicitly enabled using
+the configurable `%features` variable (see also "Configuring gitweb
+features" section below).
+
+
+CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
+-----------------------
+Some configuration variables have their default values (embedded in the CGI
+script) set during building gitweb -- if that is the case, this fact is put
+in their description.  See gitweb's 'INSTALL' file for instructions on building
+and installing gitweb.
+
+
+Location of repositories
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The configuration variables described below control how gitweb finds
+git repositories, and how repositories are displayed and accessed.
+
+See also "Repositories" and later subsections in linkgit:gitweb[1] manpage.
+
+$projectroot::
+	Absolute filesystem path which will be prepended to project path;
+	the path to repository is `$projectroot/$project`.  Set to
+	`$GITWEB_PROJECTROOT` during installation.  This variable has to be
+	set correctly for gitweb to find repositories.
++
+For example, if `$projectroot` is set to "/srv/git" by putting the following
+in gitweb config file:
++
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+our $projectroot = "/srv/git";
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
++
+then
++
+------------------------------------------------
+http://git.example.com/gitweb.cgi?p=foo/bar.git
+------------------------------------------------
++
+and its path_info based equivalent
++
+------------------------------------------------
+http://git.example.com/gitweb.cgi/foo/bar.git
+------------------------------------------------
++
+will map to the path '/srv/git/foo/bar.git' on the filesystem.
+
+$projects_list::
+	Name of a plain text file listing projects, or a name of directory
+	to be scanned for projects.
++
+Project list files should list one project per line, with each line
+having the following format
++
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+<URI-encoded filesystem path to repository> SP <URI-encoded repository owner>
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
++
+The default value of this variable is determined by the `GITWEB_LIST`
+makefile variable at installation time.  If this variable is empty, gitweb
+will fall back to scanning the `$projectroot` directory for repositories.
+
+$project_maxdepth::
+	If `$projects_list` variable is unset, gitweb will recursively
+	scan filesystem for git repositories.  The `$project_maxdepth`
+	is used to limit traversing depth, relative to `$projectroot`
+	(starting point); it means that directories which are further
+	from `$projectroot` than `$project_maxdepth` will be skipped.
++
+It is purely performance optimization, originally intended for MacOS X,
+where recursive directory traversal is slow.  Gitweb follows symbolic
+links, but it detects cycles, ignoring any duplicate files and directories.
++
+The default value of this variable is determined by the build-time
+configuration variable `GITWEB_PROJECT_MAXDEPTH`, which defaults to
+2007.
+
+$export_ok::
+	Show repository only if this file exists (in repository).  Only
+	effective if this variable evaluates to true.  Can be set when
+	building gitweb by setting `GITWEB_EXPORT_OK`.  This path is
+	relative to `GIT_DIR`.  git-daemon[1] uses 'git-daemon-export-ok',
+	unless started with `--export-all`.  By default this variable is
+	not set, which means that this feature is turned off.
+
+$export_auth_hook::
+	Function used to determine which repositories should be shown.
+	This subroutine should take one parameter, the full path to
+	a project, and if it returns true, that project will be included
+	in the projects list and can be accessed through gitweb as long
+	as it fulfills the other requirements described by $export_ok,
+	$projects_list, and $projects_maxdepth.  Example:
++
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+our $export_auth_hook = sub { return -e "$_[0]/git-daemon-export-ok"; };
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
++
+though the above might be done by using `$export_ok` instead
++
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+our $export_ok = "git-daemon-export-ok";
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
++
+If not set (default), it means that this feature is disabled.
++
+See also more involved example in "Controlling access to git repositories"
+subsection on linkgit:gitweb[1] manpage.
+
+$strict_export::
+	Only allow viewing of repositories also shown on the overview page.
+	This for example makes `$gitweb_export_ok` file decide if repository is
+	available and not only if it is shown.  If `$gitweb_list` points to
+	file with list of project, only those repositories listed would be
+	available for gitweb.  Can be set during building gitweb via
+	`GITWEB_STRICT_EXPORT`.  By default this variable is not set, which
+	means that you can directly access those repositories that are hidden
+	from projects list page (e.g. the are not listed in the $projects_list
+	file).
+
+
+Finding files
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The following configuration variables tell gitweb where to find files.
+The values of these variables are paths on the filesystem.
+
+$GIT::
+	Core git executable to use.  By default set to `$GIT_BINDIR/git`, which
+	in turn is by default set to `$(bindir)/git`.  If you use git installed
+	from a binary package, you should usually set this to "/usr/bin/git".
+	This can just be "git" if your web server has a sensible PATH; from
+	security point of view it is better to use absolute path to git binary.
+	If you have multiple git versions installed it can be used to choose
+	which one to use.  Must be (correctly) set for gitweb to be able to
+	work.
+
+$mimetypes_file::
+	File to use for (filename extension based) guessing of MIME types before
+	trying '/etc/mime.types'.  *NOTE* that this path, if relative, is taken
+	as relative to the current git repository, not to CGI script.  If unset,
+	only '/etc/mime.types' is used (if present on filesystem).  If no mimetypes
+	file is found, mimetype guessing based on extension of file is disabled.
+	Unset by default.
+
+$highlight_bin::
+	Path to the highlight executable to use (it must be the one from
+	http://www.andre-simon.de[] due to assumptions about parameters and output).
+	By default set to 'highlight'; set it to full path to highlight
+	executable if it is not installed on your web server's PATH.
+	Note that 'highlight' feature must be set for gitweb to actually
+	use syntax hightlighting.
++
+*NOTE*: if you want to add support for new file type (supported by
+"highlight" but not used by gitweb), you need to modify `%highlight_ext`
+or `%highlight_basename`, depending on whether you detect type of file
+based on extension (for example "sh") or on its basename (for example
+"Makefile").  The keys of these hashes are extension and basename,
+respectively, and value for given key is name of syntax to be passed via
+`--syntax <syntax>` to highlighter.
++
+For example if repositories you are hosting use "phtml" extension for
+PHP files, and you want to have correct syntax-highlighting for those
+files, you can add the following to gitweb configuration:
++
+---------------------------------------------------------
+our %highlight_ext;
+$highlight_ext{'phtml'} = 'php';
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+Links and their targets
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The configuration variables described below configure some of gitweb links:
+their target and their look (text or image), and where to find page
+prerequisites (stylesheet, favicon, images, scripts).  Usually they are left
+at their default values, with the possible exception of `@stylesheets`
+variable.
+
+@stylesheets::
+	List of URIs of stylesheets (relative to the base URI of a page). You
+	might specify more than one stylesheet, for example to use "gitweb.css"
+	as base with site specific modifications in a separate stylesheet
+	to make it easier to upgrade gitweb.  For example, you can add
+	a `site` stylesheet by putting
++
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+push @stylesheets, "gitweb-site.css";
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
++
+in the gitweb config file.  Those values that are relative paths are
+relative to base URI of gitweb.
++
+This list should contain the URI of gitweb's standard stylesheet.  The default
+URI of gitweb stylesheet can be set at build time using the `GITWEB_CSS`
+makefile variable.  Its default value is 'static/gitweb.css'
+(or 'static/gitweb.min.css' if the `CSSMIN` variable is defined,
+i.e. if CSS minifier is used during build).
++
+*Note*: there is also a legacy `$stylesheet` configuration variable, which was
+used by older gitweb.  If `$stylesheet` variable is defined, only CSS stylesheet
+given by this variable is used by gitweb.
+
+$logo::
+	Points to the location where you put 'git-logo.png' on your web
+	server, or to be more the generic URI of logo, 72x27 size).  This image
+	is displayed in the top right corner of each gitweb page and used as
+	a logo for the Atom feed.  Relative to the base URI of gitweb (as a path).
+	Can be adjusted when building gitweb using `GITWEB_LOGO` variable
+	By default set to 'static/git-logo.png'.
+
+$favicon::
+	Points to the location where you put 'git-favicon.png' on your web
+	server, or to be more the generic URI of favicon, which will be served
+	as "image/png" type.  Web browsers that support favicons (website icons)
+	may display them in the browser's URL bar and next to the site name in
+	bookmarks.  Relative to the base URI of gitweb.  Can be adjusted at
+	build time using `GITWEB_FAVICON` variable.
+	By default set to 'static/git-favicon.png'.
+
+$javascript::
+	Points to the location where you put 'gitweb.js' on your web server,
+	or to be more generic the URI of JavaScript code used by gitweb.
+	Relative to the base URI of gitweb.  Can be set at build time using
+	the `GITWEB_JS` build-time configuration variable.
++
+The default value is either 'static/gitweb.js', or 'static/gitweb.min.js' if
+the `JSMIN` build variable was defined, i.e. if JavaScript minifier was used
+at build time.  *Note* that this single file is generated from multiple
+individual JavaScript "modules".
+
+$home_link::
+	Target of the home link on the top of all pages (the first part of view
+	"breadcrumbs").  By default it is set to the absolute URI of a current page
+	(to the value of `$my_uri` variable, or to "/" if `$my_uri` is undefined
+	or is an empty string).
+
+$home_link_str::
+	Label for the "home link" at the top of all pages, leading to `$home_link`
+	(usually the main gitweb page, which contains the projects list).  It is
+	used as the first component of gitweb's "breadcrumb trail":
+	`<home link> / <project> / <action>`.  Can be set at build time using
+	the `GITWEB_HOME_LINK_STR` variable.  By default it is set to "projects",
+	as this link leads to the list of projects.  Other popular choice it to
+	set it to the name of site.
+
+$logo_url::
+$logo_label::
+	URI and label (title) for the Git logo link (or your site logo,
+	if you chose to use different logo image). By default, these both
+	refer to git homepage, http://git-scm.com[]; in the past, they pointed
+	to git documentation at http://www.kernel.org[].
+
+
+Changing gitweb's look
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+You can adjust how pages generated by gitweb look using the variables described
+below.  You can change the site name, add common headers and footers for all
+pages, and add a description of this gitweb installation on its main page
+(which is the projects list page), etc.
+
+$site_name::
+	Name of your site or organization, to appear in page titles.  Set it
+	to something descriptive for clearer bookmarks etc.  If this variable
+	is not set or is, then gitweb uses the value of the `SERVER_NAME`
+	CGI environment variable, setting site name to "$SERVER_NAME Git",
+	or "Untitled Git" if this variable is not set (e.g. if running gitweb
+	as standalone script).
++
+Can be set using the `GITWEB_SITENAME` at build time.  Unset by default.
+
+$site_html_head_string::
+	HTML snippet to be included in the <head> section of each page.
+	Can be set using `GITWEB_SITE_HTML_HEAD_STRING` at build time.
+	No default value.
+
+$site_header::
+	Name of a file with HTML to be included at the top of each page.
+	Relative to the directory containing the 'gitweb.cgi' script.
+	Can be set using `GITWEB_SITE_HEADER` at build time.  No default
+	value.
+
+$site_footer::
+	Name of a file with HTML to be included at the bottom of each page.
+	Relative to the directory containing the 'gitweb.cgi' script.
+	Can be set using `GITWEB_SITE_FOOTER` at build time.  No default
+	value.
+
+$home_text::
+	Name of a HTML file which, if it exists, is included on the
+	gitweb projects overview page ("projects_list" view).  Relative to
+	the directory containing the gitweb.cgi script.  Default value
+	can be adjusted during build time using `GITWEB_HOMETEXT` variable.
+	By default set to 'indextext.html'.
+
+$projects_list_description_width::
+	The width (in characters) of the "Description" column of the projects list.
+	Longer descriptions will be truncated (trying to cut at word boundary);
+	the full description is available in the 'title' attribute (usually shown on
+	mouseover).  The default is 25, which might be too small if you
+	use long project descriptions.
+
+$default_projects_order::
+	Default value of ordering of projects on projects list page, which
+	means the ordering used if you don't explicitly sort projects list
+	(if there is no "o" CGI query parameter in the URL).  Valid values
+	are "none" (unsorted), "project" (projects are by project name,
+	i.e. path to repository relative to `$projectroot`), "descr"
+	(project description), "owner", and "age" (by date of most current
+	commit).
++
+Default value is "project".  Unknown value means unsorted.
+
+
+Changing gitweb's behavior
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+These configuration variables control _internal_ gitweb behavior.
+
+$default_blob_plain_mimetype::
+	Default mimetype for the blob_plain (raw) view, if mimetype checking
+	doesn't result in some other type; by default "text/plain".
+	Gitweb guesses mimetype of a file to display based on extension
+	of its filename, using `$mimetypes_file` (if set and file exists)
+	and '/etc/mime.types' files (see *mime.types*(5) manpage; only
+	filename extension rules are supported by gitweb).
+
+$default_text_plain_charset::
+	Default charset for text files. If this is not set, the web server
+	configuration will be used.  Unset by default.
+
+$fallback_encoding::
+	Gitweb assumes this charset when a line contains non-UTF-8 characters.
+	The fallback decoding is used without error checking, so it can be even
+	"utf-8". The value must be a valid encoding; see the *Encoding::Supported*(3pm)
+	man page for a list. The default is "latin1", aka. "iso-8859-1".
+
+@diff_opts::
+	Rename detection options for git-diff and git-diff-tree. The default is
+	(\'-M'); set it to (\'-C') or (\'-C', \'-C') to also detect copies,
+	or set it to () i.e. empty list if you don't want to have renames
+	detection.
++
+*Note* that rename and especially copy detection can be quite
+CPU-intensive.  Note also that non git tools can have problems with
+patches generated with options mentioned above, especially when they
+involve file copies (\'-C') or criss-cross renames (\'-B').
+
+
+Some optional features and policies
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Most of features are configured via `%feature` hash; however some of extra
+gitweb features can be turned on and configured using variables described
+below.  This list beside configuration variables that control how gitweb
+looks does contain variables configuring administrative side of gitweb
+(e.g. cross-site scripting prevention; admittedly this as side effect
+affects how "summary" pages look like, or load limiting).
+
+@git_base_url_list::
+	List of git base URLs.  These URLs are used to generate URLs
+	describing from where to fetch a project, which are shown on
+	project summary page.  The full fetch URL is "`$git_base_url/$project`",
+	for each element of this list. You can set up multiple base URLs
+	(for example one for `git://` protocol, and one for `http://`
+	protocol).
++
+Note that per repository configuration can be set in '$GIT_DIR/cloneurl'
+file, or as values of multi-value `gitweb.url` configuration variable in
+project config.  Per-repository configuration takes precedence over value
+composed from `@git_base_url_list` elements and project name.
++
+You can setup one single value (single entry/item in this list) at build
+time by setting the `GITWEB_BASE_URL` built-time configuration variable.
+By default it is set to (), i.e. an empty list.  This means that gitweb
+would not try to create project URL (to fetch) from project name.
+
+$projects_list_group_categories::
+	Whether to enables the grouping of projects by category on the project
+	list page. The category of a project is determined by the
+	`$GIT_DIR/category` file or the `gitweb.category` variable in each
+	repository's configuration.  Disabled by default (set to 0).
+
+$project_list_default_category::
+	Default category for projects for which none is specified.  If this is
+	set to the empty string, such projects will remain uncategorized and
+	listed at the top, above categorized projects.  Used only if project
+	categories are enabled, which means if `$projects_list_group_categories`
+	is true.  By default set to "" (empty string).
+
+$prevent_xss::
+	If true, some gitweb features are disabled to prevent content in
+	repositories from launching cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.  Set this
+	to true if you don't trust the content of your repositories.
+	False by default (set to 0).
+
+$maxload::
+	Used to set the maximum load that we will still respond to gitweb queries.
+	If the server load exceeds this value then gitweb will return
+	"503 Service Unavailable" error.  The server load is taken to be 0
+	if gitweb cannot determine its value.  Currently it works only on Linux,
+	where it uses '/proc/loadavg'; the load there is the number of active
+	tasks on the system -- processes that are actually running -- averaged
+	over the last minute.
++
+Set `$maxload` to undefined value (`undef`) to turn this feature off.
+The default value is 300.
+
+$per_request_config::
+	If this is set to code reference, it will be run once for each request.
+	You can	set parts of configuration that change per session this way.
+	For example, one might use the following code in a gitweb configuration
+	file
++
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+our $per_request_config = sub {
+	$ENV{GL_USER} = $cgi->remote_user || "gitweb";
+};
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
++
+If `$per_request_config` is not a code reference, it is interpreted as boolean
+value.  If it is true gitweb will process config files once per request,
+and if it is false gitweb will process config files only once, each time it
+is executed.  True by default (set to 1).
++
+*NOTE*: `$my_url`, `$my_uri`, and `$base_url` are overwritten with their default
+values before every request, so if you want to change them, be sure to set
+this variable to true or a code reference effecting the desired changes.
++
+This variable matters only when using persistent web environments that
+serve multiple requests using single gitweb instance, like mod_perl,
+FastCGI or Plackup.
+
+
+Other variables
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Usually you should not need to change (adjust) any of configuration
+variables described below; they should be automatically set by gitweb to
+correct value.
+
+
+$version::
+	Gitweb version, set automatically when creating gitweb.cgi from
+	gitweb.perl. You might want to modify it if you are running modified
+	gitweb, for example
++
+---------------------------------------------------
+our $version .= " with caching";
+---------------------------------------------------
++
+if you run modified version of gitweb with caching support.  This variable
+is purely informational, used e.g. in the "generator" meta header in HTML
+header.
+
+$my_url::
+$my_uri::
+	Full URL and absolute URL of the gitweb script;
+	in earlier versions of gitweb you might have need to set those
+	variables, but now there should be no need to do it.  See
+	`$per_request_config` if you need to set them still.
+
+$base_url::
+	Base URL for relative URLs in pages generated by gitweb,
+	(e.g. `$logo`, `$favicon`, `@stylesheets` if they are relative URLs),
+	needed and used '<base href="$base_url">' only for URLs with nonempty
+	PATH_INFO.  Usually gitweb sets its value correctly,
+	and there is no need to set this variable, e.g. to $my_uri or "/".
+	See `$per_request_config` if you need to override it anyway.
+
+
+CONFIGURING GITWEB FEATURES
+---------------------------
+Many gitweb features can be enabled (or disabled) and configured using the
+`%feature` hash.  Names of gitweb features are keys of this hash.
+
+Each `%feature` hash element is a hash reference and has the following
+structure:
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+"<feature_name>" => {
+	"sub" => <feature-sub (subroutine)>,
+	"override" => <allow-override (boolean)>,
+	"default" => [ <options>... ]
+},
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+Some features cannot be overridden per project.  For those
+features the structure of appropriate `%feature` hash element has a simpler
+form:
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+"<feature_name>" => {
+	"override" => 0,
+	"default" => [ <options>... ]
+},
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+As one can see it lacks the \'sub' element.
+
+The meaning of each part of feature configuration is described
+below:
+
+default::
+	List (array reference) of feature parameters (if there are any),
+	used also to toggle (enable or disable) given feature.
++
+Note that it is currently *always* an array reference, even if
+feature doesn't accept any configuration parameters, and \'default'
+is used only to turn it on or off.  In such case you turn feature on
+by setting this element to `[1]`, and torn it off by setting it to
+`[0]`.  See also the passage about the "blame" feature in the "Examples"
+section.
++
+To disable features that accept parameters (are configurable), you
+need to set this element to empty list i.e. `[]`.
+
+override::
+	If this field has a true value then the given feature is
+	overriddable, which means that it can be configured
+	(or enabled/disabled) on a per-repository basis.
++
+Usually given "<feature>" is configurable via the `gitweb.<feature>`
+config variable in the per-repository git configuration file.
++
+*Note* that no feature is overriddable by default.
+
+sub::
+	Internal detail of implementation.  What is important is that
+	if this field is not present then per-repository override for
+	given feature is not supported.
++
+You wouldn't need to ever change it in gitweb config file.
+
+
+Features in `%feature`
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The gitweb features that are configurable via `%feature` hash are listed
+below.  This should be a complete list, but ultimately the authoritative
+and complete list is in gitweb.cgi source code, with features described
+in the comments.
+
+blame::
+	Enable the "blame" and "blame_incremental" blob views, showing for
+	each line the last commit that modified it; see linkgit:git-blame[1].
+	This can be very CPU-intensive and is therefore disabled by default.
++
+This feature can be configured on a per-repository basis via
+repository's `gitweb.blame` configuration variable (boolean).
+
+snapshot::
+	Enable and configure the "snapshot" action, which allows user to
+	download a compressed archive of any tree or commit, as produced
+	by linkgit:git-archive[1] and possibly additionally compressed.
+	This can potentially generate high traffic if you have large project.
++
+The value of \'default' is a list of names of snapshot formats,
+defined in `%known_snapshot_formats` hash, that you wish to offer.
+Supported formats include "tgz", "tbz2", "txz" (gzip/bzip2/xz
+compressed tar archive) and "zip"; please consult gitweb sources for
+a definitive list.  By default only "tgz" is offered.
++
+This feature can be configured on a per-repository basis via
+repository's `gitweb.blame` configuration variable, which contains
+a comma separated list of formats or "none" to disable snapshots.
+Unknown values are ignored.
+
+grep::
+	Enable grep search, which lists the files in currently selected
+	tree (directory) containing the given string; see linkgit:git-grep[1].
+	This can be potentially CPU-intensive, of course.  Enabled by default.
++
+This feature can be configured on a per-repository basis via
+repository's `gitweb.grep` configuration variable (boolean).
+
+pickaxe::
+	Enable the so called pickaxe search, which will list the commits
+	that introduced or removed a given string in a file.  This can be
+	practical and quite faster alternative to "blame" action, but it is
+	still potentially CPU-intensive.  Enabled by default.
++
+The pickaxe search is described in linkgit:git-log[1] (the
+description of `-S<string>` option, which refers to pickaxe entry in
+linkgit:gitdiffcore[7] for more details).
++
+This feature can be configured on a per-repository basis by setting
+repository's `gitweb.pickaxe` configuration variable (boolean).
+
+show-sizes::
+	Enable showing size of blobs (ordinary files) in a "tree" view, in a
+	separate column, similar to what `ls -l` does; see description of
+	`-l` option in linkgit:git-ls-tree[1] manpage.  This costs a bit of
+	I/O.  Enabled by default.
++
+This feature can be configured on a per-repository basis via
+repository's `gitweb.showsizes` configuration variable (boolean).
+
+patches::
+	Enable and configure "patches" view, which displays list of commits in email
+	(plain text) output format; see also linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
+	The value is the maximum number of patches in a patchset generated
+	in "patches" view.  Set the 'default' field to a list containing single
+	item of or to an empty list to disable patch view, or to a list
+	containing a single negative number to remove any limit.
+	Default value is 16.
++
+This feature can be configured on a per-repository basis via
+repository's `gitweb.patches` configuration variable (integer).
+
+avatar::
+	Avatar support.  When this feature is enabled, views such as
+	"shortlog" or "commit" will display an avatar associated with
+	the email of each committer and author.
++
+Currently available providers are *"gravatar"* and *"picon"*.
+Only one provider at a time can be selected ('default' is one element list).
+If an unknown provider is specified, the feature is disabled.
+*Note* that some providers might require extra Perl packages to be
+installed; see 'gitweb/INSTALL' for more details.
++
+This feature can be configured on a per-repository basis via
+repository's `gitweb.avatar` configuration variable.
++
+See also `%avatar_size` with pixel sizes for icons and avatars
+("default" is used for one-line like "log" and "shortlog", "double"
+is used for two-line like "commit", "commitdiff" or "tag").  If the
+default font sizes or lineheights are changed (e.g. via adding extra
+CSS stylesheet in `@stylesheets`), it may be appropriate to change
+these values.
+
+highlight::
+	Server-side syntax highlight support in "blob" view.  It requires
+	`$highlight_bin` program to be available (see the description of
+	this variable in the "Configuration variables" section above),
+	and therefore is disabled by default.
++
+This feature can be configured on a per-repository basis via
+repository's `gitweb.highlight` configuration variable (boolean).
+
+remote_heads::
+	Enable displaying remote heads (remote-tracking branches) in the "heads"
+	list.  In most cases the list of remote-tracking branches is an
+	unnecessary internal private detail, and this feature is therefore
+	disabled by default.  linkgit:git-instaweb[1], which is usually used
+	to browse local repositories, enables and uses this feature.
++
+This feature can be configured on a per-repository basis via
+repository's `gitweb.remote_heads` configuration variable (boolean).
+
+
+The remaining features cannot be overridden on a per project basis.
+
+search::
+	Enable text search, which will list the commits which match author,
+	committer or commit text to a given string; see the description of
+	`--author`, `--committer` and `--grep` options in linkgit:git-log[1]
+	manpage.  Enabled by default.
++
+Project specific override is not supported.
+
+forks::
+	If this feature is enabled, gitweb considers projects in
+	subdirectories of project root (basename) to be forks of existing
+	projects.  For each project `$projname.git`, projects in the
+	`$projname/` directory and its subdirectories will not be
+	shown in the main projects list.  Instead, a \'+' mark is shown
+	next to `$projname`, which links to a "forks" view that lists all
+	the forks (all projects in `$projname/` subdirectory).  Additionally
+	a "forks" view for a project is linked from project summary page.
++
+If the project list is taken from a file (`$projects_list` points to a
+file), forks are only recognized if they are listed after the main project
+in that file.
++
+Project specific override is not supported.
+
+actions::
+	Insert custom links to the action bar of all project pages.  This
+	allows you to link to third-party scripts integrating into gitweb.
++
+The "default" value consists of a list of triplets in the form
+`("<label>", "<link>", "<position>")` where "position" is the label
+after which to insert the link, "link" is a format string where `%n`
+expands to the project name, `%f` to the project path within the
+filesystem (i.e. "$projectroot/$project"), `%h` to the current hash
+(\'h' gitweb parameter) and `%b` to the current hash base
+(\'hb' gitweb parameter); `%%` expands to \'%'.
++
+For example, at the time this page was written, the http://repo.or.cz[]
+git hosting site set it to the following to enable graphical log
+(using the third party tool *git-browser*):
++
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+$feature{'actions'}{'default'} =
+	[ ('graphiclog', '/git-browser/by-commit.html?r=%n', 'summary')];
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
++
+This adds a link titled "graphiclog" after the "summary" link, leading to
+`git-browser` script, passing `r=<project>` as a query parameter.
++
+Project specific override is not supported.
+
+timed::
+	Enable displaying how much time and how many git commands it took to
+	generate and display each page in the page footer (at the bottom of
+	page).  For example the footer might contain: "This page took 6.53325
+	seconds and 13 git commands to generate."  Disabled by default.
++
+Project specific override is not supported.
+
+javascript-timezone::
+	Enable and configure the ability to change a common timezone for dates
+	in gitweb output via JavaScript.  Dates in gitweb output include
+	authordate and committerdate in "commit", "commitdiff" and "log"
+	views, and taggerdate in "tag" view.  Enabled by default.
++
+The value is a list of three values: a default timezone (for if the client
+hasn't selected some other timezone and saved it in a cookie), a name of cookie
+where to store selected timezone, and a CSS class used to mark up
+dates for manipulation.  If you want to turn this feature off, set "default"
+to empty list: `[]`.
++
+Typical gitweb config files will only change starting (default) timezone,
+and leave other elements at their default values:
++
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+$feature{'javascript-timezone'}{'default'}[0] = "utc";
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
++
+The example configuration presented here is guaranteed to be backwards
+and forward compatible.
++
+Timezone values can be "local" (for local timezone that browser uses), "utc"
+(what gitweb uses when JavaScript or this feature is disabled), or numerical
+timezones in the form of "+/-HHMM", such as "+0200".
++
+Project specific override is not supported.
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+To enable blame, pickaxe search, and snapshot support (allowing "tar.gz" and
+"zip" snapshots), while allowing individual projects to turn them off, put
+the following in your GITWEB_CONFIG file:
+
+	$feature{'blame'}{'default'} = [1];
+	$feature{'blame'}{'override'} = 1;
+
+	$feature{'pickaxe'}{'default'} = [1];
+	$feature{'pickaxe'}{'override'} = 1;
+
+	$feature{'snapshot'}{'default'} = ['zip', 'tgz'];
+	$feature{'snapshot'}{'override'} = 1;
+
+If you allow overriding for the snapshot feature, you can specify which
+snapshot formats are globally disabled. You can also add any command line
+options you want (such as setting the compression level). For instance, you
+can disable Zip compressed snapshots and set *gzip*(1) to run at level 6 by
+adding the following lines to your gitweb configuration file:
+
+	$known_snapshot_formats{'zip'}{'disabled'} = 1;
+	$known_snapshot_formats{'tgz'}{'compressor'} = ['gzip','-6'];
+
+ENVIRONMENT
+-----------
+The location of per-instance and system-wide configuration files can be
+overridden using the following environment variables:
+
+GITWEB_CONFIG::
+	Sets location of per-instance configuration file.
+GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM::
+	Sets location of fallback system-wide configuration file.
+	This file is read only if per-instance one does not exist.
+GITWEB_CONFIG_COMMON::
+	Sets location of common system-wide configuration file.
+
+
+FILES
+-----
+gitweb_config.perl::
+	This is default name of per-instance configuration file.  The
+	format of this file is described above.
+/etc/gitweb.conf::
+	This is default name of fallback system-wide configuration
+	file.  This file is used only if per-instance configuration
+	variable is not found.
+/etc/gitweb-common.conf::
+	This is default name of common system-wide configuration
+	file.

+
+NAME
+----
+gitweb - Git web interface (web frontend to Git repositories)
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+To get started with gitweb, run linkgit:git-instaweb[1] from a git repository.
+This would configure and start your web server, and run web browser pointing to
+gitweb.
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Gitweb provides a web interface to git repositories.  It's features include:
+
+* Viewing multiple Git repositories with common root.
+* Browsing every revision of the repository.
+* Viewing the contents of files in the repository at any revision.
+* Viewing the revision log of branches, history of files and directories,
+  see what was changed when, by who.
+* Viewing the blame/annotation details of any file (if enabled).
+* Generating RSS and Atom feeds of commits, for any branch.
+  The feeds are auto-discoverable in modern web browsers.
+* Viewing everything that was changed in a revision, and step through
+  revisions one at a time, viewing the history of the repository.
+* Finding commits which commit messages matches given search term.
+
+See http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=tree;f=gitweb[] or
+http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git/tree/HEAD:/gitweb/[] for gitweb source code,
+browsed using gitweb itself.
+
+
+CONFIGURATION
+-------------
+Various aspects of gitweb's behavior can be controlled through the configuration
+file 'gitweb_config.perl' or '/etc/gitweb.conf'.  See the linkgit:gitweb.conf[5]
+for details.
+
+Repositories
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Gitweb can show information from one or more Git repositories.  These
+repositories have to be all on local filesystem, and have to share common
+repository root, i.e. be all under a single parent repository (but see also
+"Advanced web server setup" section, "Webserver configuration with multiple
+projects' root" subsection).
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+our $projectroot = '/path/to/parent/directory';
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The default value for `$projectroot` is '/pub/git'.  You can change it during
+building gitweb via `GITWEB_PROJECTROOT` build configuration variable.
+
+By default all git repositories under `$projectroot` are visible and available
+to gitweb.  The list of projects is generated by default by scanning the
+`$projectroot` directory for git repositories (for object databases to be
+more exact; gitweb is not interested in a working area, and is best suited
+to showing "bare" repositories).
+
+The name of repository in gitweb is path to it's `$GIT_DIR` (it's object
+database) relative to `$projectroot`.  Therefore the repository $repo can be
+found at "$projectroot/$repo".
+
+
+Projects list file format
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Instead of having gitweb find repositories by scanning filesystem
+starting from $projectroot, you can provide a pre-generated list of
+visible projects by setting `$projects_list` to point to a plain text
+file with a list of projects (with some additional info).
+
+This file uses the following format:
+
+* One record (for project / repository) per line; does not support line
+continuation (newline escaping).
+
+* Leading and trailing whitespace are ignored.
+
+* Whitespace separated fields; any run of whitespace can be used as field
+separator (rules for Perl's "`split(" ", $line)`").
+
+* Fields use modified URI encoding, defined in RFC 3986, section 2.1
+(Percent-Encoding), or rather "Query string encoding" (see
+link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_string#URL_encoding[]), the difference
+being that SP (" ") can be encoded as "{plus}" (and therefore "{plus}" has to be
+also percent-encoded).
++
+Reserved characters are: "%" (used for encoding), "{plus}" (can be used to
+encode SPACE), all whitespace characters as defined in Perl, including SP,
+TAB and LF, (used to separate fields in a record).
+
+* Currently recognized fields are:
+<repository path>::
+	path to repository GIT_DIR, relative to `$projectroot`
+<repository owner>::
+	displayed as repository owner, preferably full name, or email,
+	or both
+
+You can generate the projects list index file using the project_index action
+(the 'TXT' link on projects list page) directly from gitweb; see also
+"Generating projects list using gitweb" section below.
+
+Example contents:
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+foo.git       Joe+R+Hacker+<joe@example.com>
+foo/bar.git   O+W+Ner+<owner@example.org>
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+By default this file controls only which projects are *visible* on projects
+list page (note that entries that do not point to correctly recognized git
+repositories won't be displayed by gitweb).  Even if a project is not
+visible on projects list page, you can view it nevertheless by hand-crafting
+a gitweb URL.  By setting `$strict_export` configuration variable (see
+linkgit:gitweb.conf[5]) to true value you can allow viewing only of
+repositories also shown on the overview page (i.e. only projects explicitly
+listed in projects list file will be accessible).
+
+
+Generating projects list using gitweb
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+We assume that GITWEB_CONFIG has its default Makefile value, namely
+'gitweb_config.perl'. Put the following in 'gitweb_make_index.perl' file:
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+read_config_file("gitweb_config.perl");
+$projects_list = $projectroot;
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Then create the following script to get list of project in the format
+suitable for GITWEB_LIST build configuration variable (or
+`$projects_list` variable in gitweb config):
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+#!/bin/sh
+
+export GITWEB_CONFIG="gitweb_make_index.perl"
+export GATEWAY_INTERFACE="CGI/1.1"
+export HTTP_ACCEPT="*/*"
+export REQUEST_METHOD="GET"
+export QUERY_STRING="a=project_index"
+
+perl -- /var/www/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Run this script and save its output to a file.  This file could then be used
+as projects list file, which means that you can set `$projects_list` to its
+filename.
+
+
+Controlling access to git repositories
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+By default all git repositories under `$projectroot` are visible and
+available to gitweb.  You can however configure how gitweb controls access
+to repositories.
+
+* As described in "Projects list file format" section, you can control which
+projects are *visible* by selectively including repositories in projects
+list file, and setting `$projects_list` gitweb configuration variable to
+point to it.  With `$strict_export` set, projects list file can be used to
+control which repositories are *available* as well.
+
+* You can configure gitweb to only list and allow viewing of the explicitly
+exported repositories, via `$export_ok` variable in gitweb config file; see
+linkgit:gitweb.conf[5] manpage.  If it evaluates to true, gitweb shows
+repositories only if this file named by `$export_ok` exists in its object
+database (if directory has the magic file named `$export_ok`).
++
+For example linkgit:git-daemon[1] by default (unless `--export-all` option
+is used) allows pulling only for those repositories that have
+'git-daemon-export-ok' file.  Adding
++
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+our $export_ok = "git-daemon-export-ok";
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
++
+makes gitweb show and allow access only to those repositories that can be
+fetched from via `git://` protocol.
+
+* Finally, it is possible to specify an arbitrary perl subroutine that will
+be called for each repository to determine if it can be exported.  The
+subroutine receives an absolute path to the project (repository) as its only
+parameter (i.e. "$projectroot/$project").
++
+For example, if you use mod_perl to run the script, and have dumb
+HTTP protocol authentication configured for your repositories, you
+can use the following hook to allow access only if the user is
+authorized to read the files:
++
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+$export_auth_hook = sub {
+	use Apache2::SubRequest ();
+	use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(HTTP_OK);
+	my $path = "$_[0]/HEAD";
+	my $r    = Apache2::RequestUtil->request;
+	my $sub  = $r->lookup_file($path);
+	return $sub->filename eq $path
+	    && $sub->status == Apache2::Const::HTTP_OK;
+};
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+Per-repository gitweb configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+You can configure individual repositories shown in gitweb by creating file
+in the 'GIT_DIR' of git repository, or by setting some repo configuration
+variable (in 'GIT_DIR/config', see linkgit:git-config[1]).
+
+You can use the following files in repository:
+
+README.html::
+	A html file (HTML fragment) which is included on the gitweb project
+	"summary" page inside `<div>` block element. You can use it for longer
+	description of a project, to provide links (for example to project's
+	homepage), etc. This is recognized only if XSS prevention is off
+	(`$prevent_xss` is false, see linkgit:gitweb.conf[5]); a way to include
+	a README safely when XSS prevention is on may be worked out in the
+	future.
+
+description (or `gitweb.description`)::
+	Short (shortened to `$projects_list_description_width` in the projects
+	list page, which is 25 characters by default; see
+	linkgit:gitweb.conf[5]) single line description of a project (of a
+	repository).  Plain text file; HTML will be escaped.  By default set to
++
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Unnamed repository; edit this file to name it for gitweb.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
++
+from the template during repository creation, usually installed in
+'/usr/share/git-core/templates/'.  You can use the `gitweb.description` repo
+configuration variable, but the file takes precedence.
+
+category (or `gitweb.category`)::
+	Singe line category of a project, used to group projects if
+	`$projects_list_group_categories` is enabled.  By default (file and
+	configuration variable absent), uncategorized projects are put in the
+	`$project_list_default_category` category.  You can use the
+	`gitweb.category` repo configuration variable, but the file takes
+	precedence.
++
+The configuration variables `$projects_list_group_categories` and
+`$project_list_default_category` are described in linkgit:gitweb.conf[5]
+
+cloneurl (or multiple-valued `gitweb.url`)::
+	File with repository URL (used for clone and fetch), one per line.
+	Displayed in the project summary page. You can use multiple-valued
+	`gitweb.url` repository configuration variable for that, but the file
+	takes precedence.
++
+This is per-repository enhancement / version of global prefix-based
+`@git_base_url_list` gitweb configuration variable (see
+linkgit:gitweb.conf[5]).
+
+gitweb.owner::
+	You can use the `gitweb.owner` repository configuration variable to set
+	repository's owner.  It is displayed in the project list and summary
+	page.
++
+If it's not set, filesystem directory's owner is used (via GECOS field,
+i.e. real name field from *getpwuid*(3)) if `$projects_list` is unset
+(gitweb scans `$projectroot` for repositories); if `$projects_list`
+points to file with list of repositories, then project owner defaults to
+value from this file for given repository.
+
+various `gitweb.*` config variables (in config)::
+	Read description of `%feature` hash for detailed list, and descriptions.
+	See also "Configuring gitweb features" section in linkgit:gitweb.conf[5]
+
+
+ACTIONS, AND URLS
+-----------------
+Gitweb can use path_info (component) based URLs, or it can pass all necessary
+information via query parameters.  The typical gitweb URLs are broken down in to
+five components:
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+.../gitweb.cgi/<repo>/<action>/<revision>:/<path>?<arguments>
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+repo::
+	The repository the action will be performed on.
++
+All actions except for those that list all available projects,
+in whatever form, require this parameter.
+
+action::
+	The action that will be run.  Defaults to 'projects_list' if repo
+	is not set, and to 'summary' otherwise.
+
+revision::
+	Revision shown.  Defaults to HEAD.
+
+path::
+	The path within the <repository> that the action is performed on,
+	for those actions that require it.
+
+arguments::
+	Any arguments that control the behaviour of the action.
+
+Some actions require or allow to specify two revisions, and sometimes even two
+pathnames.  In most general form such path_info (component) based gitweb URL
+looks like this:
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+.../gitweb.cgi/<repo>/<action>/<revision_from>:/<path_from>..<revision_to>:/<path_to>?<arguments>
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+Each action is implemented as a subroutine, and must be present in %actions
+hash.  Some actions are disabled by default, and must be turned on via feature
+mechanism.  For example to enable 'blame' view add the following to gitweb
+configuration file:
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+$feature{'blame'}{'default'} = [1];
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+Actions:
+~~~~~~~~
+The standard actions are:
+
+project_list::
+	Lists the available Git repositories.  This is the default command if no
+	repository is specified in the URL.
+
+summary::
+	Displays summary about given repository.  This is the default command if
+	no action is specified in URL, and only repository is specified.
+
+heads::
+remotes::
+	Lists all local or all remote-tracking branches in given repository.
++
+The latter is not available by default, unless configured.
+
+tags::
+	List all tags (lightweight and annotated) in given repository.
+
+blob::
+tree::
+	Shows the files and directories in a given repository path, at given

+
+WEBSERVER CONFIGURATION
+-----------------------
+This section explains how to configure some common webservers to run gitweb. In
+all cases, `/path/to/gitweb` in the examples is the directory you ran installed
+gitweb in, and contains `gitweb_config.perl`.
+
+If you've configured a web server that isn't listed here for gitweb, please send
+in the instructions so they can be included in a future release.
+
+Apache as CGI
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Apache must be configured to support CGI scripts in the directory in
+which gitweb is installed.  Let's assume that it is '/var/www/cgi-bin'
+directory.
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"
+
+<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
+    Options Indexes FollowSymlinks ExecCGI
+    AllowOverride None
+    Order allow,deny
+    Allow from all
+</Directory>
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+With that configuration the full path to browse repositories would be:
+
+  http://server/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi
+
+Apache with mod_perl, via ModPerl::Registry
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+You can use mod_perl with gitweb.  You must install Apache::Registry
+(for mod_perl 1.x) or ModPerl::Registry (for mod_perl 2.x) to enable
+this support.
+
+Assuming that gitweb is installed to '/var/www/perl', the following
+Apache configuration (for mod_perl 2.x) is suitable.
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+Alias /perl "/var/www/perl"
+
+<Directory "/var/www/perl">
+    SetHandler perl-script
+    PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
+    PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
+    Options Indexes FollowSymlinks +ExecCGI
+    AllowOverride None
+    Order allow,deny
+    Allow from all
+</Directory>
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+With that configuration the full path to browse repositories would be:
+
+  http://server/perl/gitweb.cgi
+
+Apache with FastCGI
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Gitweb works with Apache and FastCGI.  First you need to rename, copy
+or symlink gitweb.cgi to gitweb.fcgi.  Let's assume that gitweb is
+installed in '/usr/share/gitweb' directory.  The following Apache
+configuration is suitable (UNTESTED!)
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+FastCgiServer /usr/share/gitweb/gitweb.cgi
+ScriptAlias /gitweb /usr/share/gitweb/gitweb.cgi
+
+Alias /gitweb/static /usr/share/gitweb/static
+<Directory /usr/share/gitweb/static>
+    SetHandler default-handler
+</Directory>
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+With that configuration the full path to browse repositories would be:
+
+  http://server/gitweb
+
+
+ADVANCED WEB SERVER SETUP
+-------------------------
+All of those examples use request rewriting, and need `mod_rewrite`
+(or equivalent; examples below are written for Apache).
+
+Single URL for gitweb and for fetching
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+If you want to have one URL for both gitweb and your `http://`
+repositories, you can configure Apache like this:
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+<VirtualHost *:80>
+    ServerName    git.example.org
+    DocumentRoot  /pub/git
+    SetEnv        GITWEB_CONFIG   /etc/gitweb.conf
+
+    # turning on mod rewrite
+    RewriteEngine on
+
+    # make the front page an internal rewrite to the gitweb script
+    RewriteRule ^/$  /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi
+
+    # make access for "dumb clients" work
+    RewriteRule ^/(.*\.git/(?!/?(HEAD|info|objects|refs)).*)?$ \
+		/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi%{REQUEST_URI}  [L,PT]
+</VirtualHost>
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The above configuration expects your public repositories to live under
+'/pub/git' and will serve them as `http://git.domain.org/dir-under-pub-git`,
+both as cloneable GIT URL and as browseable gitweb interface.  If you then
+start your linkgit:git-daemon[1] with `--base-path=/pub/git --export-all`
+then you can even use the `git://` URL with exactly the same path.
+
+Setting the environment variable `GITWEB_CONFIG` will tell gitweb to use the
+named file (i.e. in this example '/etc/gitweb.conf') as a configuration for
+gitweb.  You don't really need it in above example; it is required only if
+your configuration file is in different place than built-in (during
+compiling gitweb) 'gitweb_config.perl' or '/etc/gitweb.conf'.  See
+linkgit:gitweb.conf[5] for details, especially information about precedence
+rules.
+
+If you use the rewrite rules from the example you *might* also need
+something like the following in your gitweb configuration file
+('/etc/gitweb.conf' following example):
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+@stylesheets = ("/some/absolute/path/gitweb.css");
+$my_uri    = "/";
+$home_link = "/";
+$per_request_config = 1;
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Nowadays though gitweb should create HTML base tag when needed (to set base
+URI for relative links), so it should work automatically.
+
+
+Webserver configuration with multiple projects' root
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+If you want to use gitweb with several project roots you can edit your
+Apache virtual host and gitweb configuration files in the following way.
+
+The virtual host configuration (in Apache configuration file) should look
+like this:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+<VirtualHost *:80>
+    ServerName    git.example.org
+    DocumentRoot  /pub/git
+    SetEnv        GITWEB_CONFIG  /etc/gitweb.conf
+
+    # turning on mod rewrite
+    RewriteEngine on
+
+    # make the front page an internal rewrite to the gitweb script
+    RewriteRule ^/$  /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi  [QSA,L,PT]
+
+    # look for a public_git folder in unix users' home
+    # http://git.example.org/~<user>/
+    RewriteRule ^/\~([^\/]+)(/|/gitweb.cgi)?$	/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi \
+		[QSA,E=GITWEB_PROJECTROOT:/home/$1/public_git/,L,PT]
+
+    # http://git.example.org/+<user>/
+    #RewriteRule ^/\+([^\/]+)(/|/gitweb.cgi)?$	/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi \
+		 [QSA,E=GITWEB_PROJECTROOT:/home/$1/public_git/,L,PT]
+
+    # http://git.example.org/user/<user>/
+    #RewriteRule ^/user/([^\/]+)/(gitweb.cgi)?$	/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi \
+		 [QSA,E=GITWEB_PROJECTROOT:/home/$1/public_git/,L,PT]
+
+    # defined list of project roots
+    RewriteRule ^/scm(/|/gitweb.cgi)?$ /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi \
+		[QSA,E=GITWEB_PROJECTROOT:/pub/scm/,L,PT]
+    RewriteRule ^/var(/|/gitweb.cgi)?$ /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi \
+		[QSA,E=GITWEB_PROJECTROOT:/var/git/,L,PT]
+
+    # make access for "dumb clients" work
+    RewriteRule ^/(.*\.git/(?!/?(HEAD|info|objects|refs)).*)?$ \
+		/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi%{REQUEST_URI}  [L,PT]
+</VirtualHost>
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Here actual project root is passed to gitweb via `GITWEB_PROJECT_ROOT`
+environment variable from a web server, so you need to put the following
+line in gitweb configuration file ('/etc/gitweb.conf' in above example):
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+$projectroot = $ENV{'GITWEB_PROJECTROOT'} || "/pub/git";
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+*Note* that this requires to be set for each request, so either
+`$per_request_config` must be false, or the above must be put in code
+referenced by `$per_request_config`;
+
+These configurations enable two things. First, each unix user (`<user>`) of
+the server will be able to browse through gitweb git repositories found in
+'~/public_git/' with the following url:
+
+  http://git.example.org/~<user>/
+
+If you do not want this feature on your server just remove the second
+rewrite rule.
+
+If you already use `mod_userdir` in your virtual host or you don't want to
+use the \'~' as first character, just comment or remove the second rewrite
+rule, and uncomment one of the following according to what you want.
+
+Second, repositories found in '/pub/scm/' and '/var/git/' will be accessible
+through `http://git.example.org/scm/` and `http://git.example.org/var/`.
+You can add as many project roots as you want by adding rewrite rules like
+the third and the fourth.
+
+
+PATH_INFO usage
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+If you enable PATH_INFO usage in gitweb by putting
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+$feature{'pathinfo'}{'default'} = [1];
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+in your gitweb configuration file, it is possible to set up your server so
+that it consumes and produces URLs in the form
+
+  http://git.example.com/project.git/shortlog/sometag
+
+i.e. without 'gitweb.cgi' part, by using a configuration such as the
+following.  This configuration assumes that '/var/www/gitweb' is the
+DocumentRoot of your webserver, contains the gitweb.cgi script and
+complementary static files (stylesheet, favicon, JavaScript):
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+<VirtualHost *:80>
+	ServerAlias git.example.com
+
+	DocumentRoot /var/www/gitweb
+
+	<Directory /var/www/gitweb>
+		Options ExecCGI
+		AddHandler cgi-script cgi
+
+		DirectoryIndex gitweb.cgi
+
+		RewriteEngine On
+		RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
+		RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
+		RewriteRule ^.* /gitweb.cgi/$0 [L,PT]
+	</Directory>
+</VirtualHost>
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The rewrite rule guarantees that existing static files will be properly
+served, whereas any other URL will be passed to gitweb as PATH_INFO
+parameter.
+
+*Notice* that in this case you don't need special settings for
+`@stylesheets`, `$my_uri` and `$home_link`, but you lose "dumb client"
+access to your project .git dirs (described in "Single URL for gitweb and
+for fetching" section).  A possible workaround for the latter is the
+following: in your project root dir (e.g. '/pub/git') have the projects
+named *without* a .git extension (e.g. '/pub/git/project' instead of
+'/pub/git/project.git') and configure Apache as follows:
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+<VirtualHost *:80>
+	ServerAlias git.example.com
+
+	DocumentRoot /var/www/gitweb
+
+	AliasMatch ^(/.*?)(\.git)(/.*)?$ /pub/git$1$3
+	<Directory /var/www/gitweb>
+		Options ExecCGI
+		AddHandler cgi-script cgi
+
+		DirectoryIndex gitweb.cgi
+
+		RewriteEngine On
+		RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
+		RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
+		RewriteRule ^.* /gitweb.cgi/$0 [L,PT]
+	</Directory>
+</VirtualHost>
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The additional AliasMatch makes it so that
+
+  http://git.example.com/project.git
+
+will give raw access to the project's git dir (so that the project can be
+cloned), while
+
+  http://git.example.com/project
+
+will provide human-friendly gitweb access.
+
+This solution is not 100% bulletproof, in the sense that if some project has
+a named ref (branch, tag) starting with 'git/', then paths such as
+
+  http://git.example.com/project/command/abranch..git/abranch
+
+will fail with a 404 error.

+Subject: Using signed tag in pull requests
+Abstract: Beginning v1.7.9, a contributor can push a signed tag to her
+ publishing repository and ask her integrator to pull it. This assures the
+ integrator that the pulled history is authentic and allows others to
+ later validate it.
+Content-type: text/asciidoc
+
+Using signed tag in pull requests
+=================================
+
+A typical distributed workflow using Git is for a contributor to fork a
+project, build on it, publish the result to her public repository, and ask
+the "upstream" person (often the owner of the project where she forked
+from) to pull from her public repository. Requesting such a "pull" is made
+easy by the `git request-pull` command.
+
+Earlier, a typical pull request may have started like this:
+
+------------
+ The following changes since commit 406da78032179...:
+
+   Froboz 3.2 (2011-09-30 14:20:57 -0700)
+
+ are available in the git repository at:
+
+   example.com:/git/froboz.git for-xyzzy
+------------
+
+followed by a shortlog of the changes and a diffstat.
+
+The request was for a branch name (e.g. `for-xyzzy`) in the public
+repository of the contributor, and even though it stated where the
+contributor forked her work from, the message did not say anything about
+the commit to expect at the tip of the for-xyzzy branch. If the site that
+hosts the public repository of the contributor cannot be fully trusted, it
+was unnecessarily hard to make sure what was pulled by the integrator was
+genuinely what the contributor had produced for the project. Also there
+was no easy way for third-party auditors to later verify the resulting
+history.
+
+Starting from Git release v1.7.9, a contributor can add a signed tag to
+the commit at the tip of the history and ask the integrator to pull that
+signed tag. When the integrator runs `git pull`, the signed tag is
+automatically verified to assure that the history is not tampered with.
+In addition, the resulting merge commit records the content of the signed
+tag, so that other people can verify that the branch merged by the
+integrator was signed by the contributor, without fetching the signed tag
+used to validate the pull request separately and keeping it in the refs
+namespace.
+
+This document describes the workflow between the contributor and the
+integrator, using Git v1.7.9 or later.
+
+
+A contributor or a lieutenant
+-----------------------------
+
+After preparing her work to be pulled, the contributor uses `git tag -s`
+to create a signed tag:
+
+------------
+ $ git checkout work
+ $ ... "git pull" from sublieutenants, "git commit" your own work ...
+ $ git tag -s -m "Completed frotz feature" frotz-for-xyzzy work
+------------
+
+Note that this example uses the `-m` option to create a signed tag with
+just a one-liner message, but this is for illustration purposes only. It
+is advisable to compose a well-written explanation of what the topic does
+to justify why it is worthwhile for the integrator to pull it, as this
+message will eventually become part of the final history after the
+integrator responds to the pull request (as we will see later).
+
+Then she pushes the tag out to her public repository:
+
+------------
+ $ git push example.com:/git/froboz.git/ +frotz-for-xyzzy
+------------
+
+There is no need to push the `work` branch or anything else.
+
+Note that the above command line used a plus sign at the beginning of
+`+frotz-for-xyzzy` to allow forcing the update of a tag, as the same
+contributor may want to reuse a signed tag with the same name after the
+previous pull request has already been responded to.
+
+The contributor then prepares a message to request a "pull":
+
+------------
+ $ git request-pull v3.2 example.com:/git/froboz.git/ frotz-for-xyzzy >msg.txt
+------------
+
+The arguments are:
+
+. the version of the integrator's commit the contributor based her work on;
+. the URL of the repository, to which the contributor has pushed what she
+  wants to get pulled; and
+. the name of the tag the contributor wants to get pulled (earlier, she could
+  write only a branch name here).
+
+The resulting msg.txt file begins like so:
+
+------------
+ The following changes since commit 406da78032179...:
+
+   Froboz 3.2 (2011-09-30 14:20:57 -0700)
+
+ are available in the git repository at:
+
+   example.com:/git/froboz.git tags/frotz-for-xyzzy
+
+ for you to fetch changes up to 703f05ad5835c...:
+
+   Add tests and documentation for frotz (2011-12-02 10:02:52 -0800)
+
+ -----------------------------------------------
+ Completed frotz feature
+ -----------------------------------------------
+------------
+
+followed by a shortlog of the changes and a diffstat.  Comparing this with
+the earlier illustration of the output from the traditional `git request-pull`
+command, the reader should notice that:
+
+. The tip commit to expect is shown to the integrator; and
+. The signed tag message is shown prominently between the dashed lines
+  before the shortlog.
+
+The latter is why the contributor would want to justify why pulling her
+work is worthwhile when creating the signed tag.  The contributor then
+opens her favorite MUA, reads msg.txt, edits and sends it to her upstream
+integrator.
+
+
+Integrator
+----------
+
+After receiving such a pull request message, the integrator fetches and
+integrates the tag named in the request, with:
+
+------------
+ $ git pull example.com:/git/froboz.git/ tags/frotz-for-xyzzy
+------------
+
+This operation will always open an editor to allow the integrator to fine
+tune the commit log message when merging a signed tag.  Also, pulling a
+signed tag will always create a merge commit even when the integrator does
+not have any new commit since the contributor's work forked (i.e. 'fast
+forward'), so that the integrator can properly explain what the merge is
+about and why it was made.
+
+In the editor, the integrator will see something like this:
+
+------------
+ Merge tag 'frotz-for-xyzzy' of example.com:/git/froboz.git/
+
+ Completed frotz feature
+ # gpg: Signature made Fri 02 Dec 2011 10:03:01 AM PST using RSA key ID 96AFE6CB
+ # gpg: Good signature from "Con Tributor <nitfol@example.com>"
+------------
+
+Notice that the message recorded in the signed tag "Completed frotz
+feature" appears here, and again that is why it is important for the
+contributor to explain her work well when creating the signed tag.
+
+As usual, the lines commented with `#` are stripped out. The resulting
+commit records the signed tag used for this validation in a hidden field
+so that it can later be used by others to audit the history. There is no
+need for the integrator to keep a separate copy of the tag in his
+repository (i.e. `git tag -l` won't list the `frotz-for-xyzzy` tag in the
+above example), and there is no need to publish the tag to his public
+repository, either.
+
+After the integrator responds to the pull request and her work becomes
+part of the permanent history, the contributor can remove the tag from
+her public repository, if she chooses, in order to keep the tag namespace
+of her public repository clean, with:
+
+------------
+ $ git push example.com:/git/froboz.git :frotz-for-xyzzy
+------------
+
+
+Auditors
+--------
+
+The `--show-signature` option can be given to `git log` or `git show` and
+shows the verification status of the embedded signed tag in merge commits
+created when the integrator responded to a pull request of a signed tag.
+
+A typical output from `git show --show-signature` may look like this:
+
+------------
+ $ git show --show-signature
+ commit 02306ef6a3498a39118aef9df7975bdb50091585
+ merged tag 'frotz-for-xyzzy'
+ gpg: Signature made Fri 06 Jan 2012 12:41:49 PM PST using RSA key ID 96AFE6CB
+ gpg: Good signature from "Con Tributor <nitfol@example.com>"
+ Merge: 406da78 703f05a
+ Author: Inte Grator <xyzzy@example.com>
+ Date:   Tue Jan 17 13:49:41 2012 -0800
+
+     Merge tag 'frotz-for-xyzzy' of example.com:/git/froboz.git/
+
+     Completed frotz feature
+
+     * tag 'frotz-for-xyzzy' (100 commits)
+       Add tests and documentation for frotz
+       ...
+------------
+
+There is no need for the auditor to explicitly fetch the contributor's
+signature, or to even be aware of what tag(s) the contributor and integrator
+used to communicate the signature.  All the required information is recorded
+as part of the merge commit.

+argv-array API
+==============
+
+The argv-array API allows one to dynamically build and store
+NULL-terminated lists.  An argv-array maintains the invariant that the
+`argv` member always points to a non-NULL array, and that the array is
+always NULL-terminated at the element pointed to by `argv[argc]`. This
+makes the result suitable for passing to functions expecting to receive
+argv from main(), or the link:api-run-command.html[run-command API].
+
+The link:api-string-list.html[string-list API] is similar, but cannot be
+used for these purposes; instead of storing a straight string pointer,
+it contains an item structure with a `util` field that is not compatible
+with the traditional argv interface.
+
+Each `argv_array` manages its own memory. Any strings pushed into the
+array are duplicated, and all memory is freed by argv_array_clear().
+
+Data Structures
+---------------
+
+`struct argv_array`::
+
+	A single array. This should be initialized by assignment from
+	`ARGV_ARRAY_INIT`, or by calling `argv_array_init`. The `argv`
+	member contains the actual array; the `argc` member contains the
+	number of elements in the array, not including the terminating
+	NULL.
+
+Functions
+---------
+
+`argv_array_init`::
+	Initialize an array. This is no different than assigning from
+	`ARGV_ARRAY_INIT`.
+
+`argv_array_push`::
+	Push a copy of a string onto the end of the array.
+
+`argv_array_pushf`::
+	Format a string and push it onto the end of the array. This is a
+	convenience wrapper combining `strbuf_addf` and `argv_array_push`.
+
+`argv_array_clear`::
+	Free all memory associated with the array and return it to the
+	initial, empty state.

+credentials API
+===============
+
+The credentials API provides an abstracted way of gathering username and
+password credentials from the user (even though credentials in the wider
+world can take many forms, in this document the word "credential" always
+refers to a username and password pair).
+
+Data Structures
+---------------
+
+`struct credential`::
+
+	This struct represents a single username/password combination
+	along with any associated context. All string fields should be
+	heap-allocated (or NULL if they are not known or not applicable).
+	The meaning of the individual context fields is the same as
+	their counterparts in the helper protocol; see the section below
+	for a description of each field.
++
+The `helpers` member of the struct is a `string_list` of helpers.  Each
+string specifies an external helper which will be run, in order, to
+either acquire or store credentials. See the section on credential
+helpers below.
++
+This struct should always be initialized with `CREDENTIAL_INIT` or
+`credential_init`.
+
+
+Functions
+---------
+
+`credential_init`::
+
+	Initialize a credential structure, setting all fields to empty.
+
+`credential_clear`::
+
+	Free any resources associated with the credential structure,
+	returning it to a pristine initialized state.
+
+`credential_fill`::
+
+	Instruct the credential subsystem to fill the username and
+	password fields of the passed credential struct by first
+	consulting helpers, then asking the user. After this function
+	returns, the username and password fields of the credential are
+	guaranteed to be non-NULL. If an error occurs, the function will
+	die().
+
+`credential_reject`::
+
+	Inform the credential subsystem that the provided credentials
+	have been rejected. This will cause the credential subsystem to
+	notify any helpers of the rejection (which allows them, for
+	example, to purge the invalid credentials from storage).  It
+	will also free() the username and password fields of the
+	credential and set them to NULL (readying the credential for
+	another call to `credential_fill`). Any errors from helpers are
+	ignored.
+
+`credential_approve`::
+
+	Inform the credential subsystem that the provided credentials
+	were successfully used for authentication.  This will cause the
+	credential subsystem to notify any helpers of the approval, so
+	that they may store the result to be used again.  Any errors
+	from helpers are ignored.
+
+`credential_from_url`::
+
+	Parse a URL into broken-down credential fields.
+
+Example
+-------
+
+The example below shows how the functions of the credential API could be
+used to login to a fictitious "foo" service on a remote host:
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+int foo_login(struct foo_connection *f)
+{
+	int status;
+	/*
+	 * Create a credential with some context; we don't yet know the
+	 * username or password.
+	 */
+
+	struct credential c = CREDENTIAL_INIT;
+	c.protocol = xstrdup("foo");
+	c.host = xstrdup(f->hostname);
+
+	/*
+	 * Fill in the username and password fields by contacting
+	 * helpers and/or asking the user. The function will die if it
+	 * fails.
+	 */
+	credential_fill(&c);
+
+	/*
+	 * Otherwise, we have a username and password. Try to use it.
+	 */
+	status = send_foo_login(f, c.username, c.password);
+	switch (status) {
+	case FOO_OK:
+		/* It worked. Store the credential for later use. */
+		credential_accept(&c);
+		break;
+	case FOO_BAD_LOGIN:
+		/* Erase the credential from storage so we don't try it
+		 * again. */
+		credential_reject(&c);
+		break;
+	default:
+		/*
+		 * Some other error occured. We don't know if the
+		 * credential is good or bad, so report nothing to the
+		 * credential subsystem.
+		 */
+	}
+
+	/* Free any associated resources. */
+	credential_clear(&c);
+
+	return status;
+}
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+Credential Helpers
+------------------
+
+Credential helpers are programs executed by git to fetch or save
+credentials from and to long-term storage (where "long-term" is simply
+longer than a single git process; e.g., credentials may be stored
+in-memory for a few minutes, or indefinitely on disk).
+
+Each helper is specified by a single string. The string is transformed
+by git into a command to be executed using these rules:
+
+  1. If the helper string begins with "!", it is considered a shell
+     snippet, and everything after the "!" becomes the command.
+
+  2. Otherwise, if the helper string begins with an absolute path, the
+     verbatim helper string becomes the command.
+
+  3. Otherwise, the string "git credential-" is prepended to the helper
+     string, and the result becomes the command.
+
+The resulting command then has an "operation" argument appended to it
+(see below for details), and the result is executed by the shell.
+
+Here are some example specifications:
+
+----------------------------------------------------
+# run "git credential-foo"
+foo
+
+# same as above, but pass an argument to the helper
+foo --bar=baz
+
+# the arguments are parsed by the shell, so use shell
+# quoting if necessary
+foo --bar="whitespace arg"
+
+# you can also use an absolute path, which will not use the git wrapper
+/path/to/my/helper --with-arguments
+
+# or you can specify your own shell snippet
+!f() { echo "password=`cat $HOME/.secret`"; }; f
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+Generally speaking, rule (3) above is the simplest for users to specify.
+Authors of credential helpers should make an effort to assist their
+users by naming their program "git-credential-$NAME", and putting it in
+the $PATH or $GIT_EXEC_PATH during installation, which will allow a user
+to enable it with `git config credential.helper $NAME`.
+
+When a helper is executed, it will have one "operation" argument
+appended to its command line, which is one of:
+
+`get`::
+
+	Return a matching credential, if any exists.
+
+`store`::
+
+	Store the credential, if applicable to the helper.
+
+`erase`::
+
+	Remove a matching credential, if any, from the helper's storage.
+
+The details of the credential will be provided on the helper's stdin
+stream. The credential is split into a set of named attributes.
+Attributes are provided to the helper, one per line. Each attribute is
+specified by a key-value pair, separated by an `=` (equals) sign,
+followed by a newline. The key may contain any bytes except `=`,
+newline, or NUL. The value may contain any bytes except newline or NUL.
+In both cases, all bytes are treated as-is (i.e., there is no quoting,
+and one cannot transmit a value with newline or NUL in it). The list of
+attributes is terminated by a blank line or end-of-file.
+
+Git will send the following attributes (but may not send all of
+them for a given credential; for example, a `host` attribute makes no
+sense when dealing with a non-network protocol):
+
+`protocol`::
+
+	The protocol over which the credential will be used (e.g.,
+	`https`).
+
+`host`::
+
+	The remote hostname for a network credential.
+
+`path`::
+
+	The path with which the credential will be used. E.g., for
+	accessing a remote https repository, this will be the
+	repository's path on the server.
+
+`username`::
+
+	The credential's username, if we already have one (e.g., from a
+	URL, from the user, or from a previously run helper).
+
+`password`::
+
+	The credential's password, if we are asking it to be stored.
+
+For a `get` operation, the helper should produce a list of attributes
+on stdout in the same format. A helper is free to produce a subset, or
+even no values at all if it has nothing useful to provide. Any provided
+attributes will overwrite those already known about by git.
+
+For a `store` or `erase` operation, the helper's output is ignored.
+If it fails to perform the requested operation, it may complain to
+stderr to inform the user. If it does not support the requested
+operation (e.g., a read-only store), it should silently ignore the
+request.
+
+If a helper receives any other operation, it should silently ignore the
+request. This leaves room for future operations to be added (older
+helpers will just ignore the new requests).

+sha1-array API
+==============
+
+The sha1-array API provides storage and manipulation of sets of SHA1
+identifiers. The emphasis is on storage and processing efficiency,
+making them suitable for large lists. Note that the ordering of items is
+not preserved over some operations.
+
+Data Structures
+---------------
+
+`struct sha1_array`::
+
+	A single array of SHA1 hashes. This should be initialized by
+	assignment from `SHA1_ARRAY_INIT`.  The `sha1` member contains
+	the actual data. The `nr` member contains the number of items in
+	the set.  The `alloc` and `sorted` members are used internally,
+	and should not be needed by API callers.
+
+Functions
+---------
+
+`sha1_array_append`::
+	Add an item to the set. The sha1 will be placed at the end of
+	the array (but note that some operations below may lose this
+	ordering).
+
+`sha1_array_sort`::
+	Sort the elements in the array.
+
+`sha1_array_lookup`::
+	Perform a binary search of the array for a specific sha1.
+	If found, returns the offset (in number of elements) of the
+	sha1. If not found, returns a negative integer. If the array is
+	not sorted, this function has the side effect of sorting it.
+
+`sha1_array_clear`::
+	Free all memory associated with the array and return it to the
+	initial, empty state.
+
+`sha1_array_for_each_unique`::
+	Efficiently iterate over each unique element of the list,
+	executing the callback function for each one. If the array is
+	not sorted, this function has the side effect of sorting it.
+
+Examples
