Hello,
I contact you because I spent quite some time to make something pretty
basic with gitweb.
I made gitweb behave a bit like UserDir module will in apache.
In fact it's only configuration but I think it could be useful to others.
Basicly it allows users of your server who use git to be able to use
gitweb to browse their own root project. E.G. :
Alice's private repos :
/home/alice/git/product_a.git (cloned from /var/git/product_a.git)
/home/alice/git/product_b.git (cloned from /var/git/product_b.git)
/home/alice/git/product_c.git (cloned from /var/git/product_c.git)
Alice's links to her repos which she wants to be able to browse with gitweb :
/home/alice/gitweb/product_a -> /home/alice/git/product_a.git/.git
/home/alice/gitweb/product_c -> /home/alice/git/product_c.git/.git
Bare repos :
/var/git/product_a.git
/var/git/product_b.git
/var/git/product_c.git
/var/git/product_d.git
/etc/gitweb.conf :
$projectroot = $ENV{'GITWEB_PROJECTROOT'} || "/var/git/";
Apache configuration :
RewriteRule ^/~([^\/]+)/?$ /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi
[QSA,E=GITWEB_PROJECTROOT:/home/$1/gitweb/,L,PT]
So now all users with a gitweb folder in their home will be able to
browse all git repos in it through http://<host>/~<user>.
You will find a patch enclosed which try to describe best what I did
and why in the gitweb/README.
Regards.
