Or am I missing something? I think the analysis in that stack overflow post is wrong. The use of "our" in git_get_projects_list is not the culprit. The problem is that one should not edit gitweb.cgi directly; its built-in defaults (which you are tweaking) are overridden by /etc/gitweb.conf, which is shipped by the Ubuntu package. You should be making your changes in the config file, not the CGI script. -Peff -- 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
