But shouldn't feature_* subs (except perhaps utility feature_bool etc.) be in Gitweb::RepoConfig rather than Gitweb::Config anyway?

Even "I don't want to think more >> about better split" would be all right for me. > > I don't want to think more about better split :) NOTE that the goal of splitting gitweb was to make it possible to put write functionalities for gitweb in separate module(s). Would it be possible with this proposed split? If it is, then further enhancements and refactoring to how gitweb is split into modules could be done "in tree", after this GSoC 2010 project is completed. BTW. what write feature would be easiest to write? Authentication (only localhost / 127.0.0.1)? Creating lightweight tags?

P.S. Unentangling interdependencies between gitweb subroutines can be left for later, but it looks like it would have to be necessary later. -- Jakub Narebski Poland -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
