I still worked on it and almost finished it. Sadly I never got time to polish it to merge to master. you can see some of my commits on it here. https://github.com/jaseemabid/git/commits/gitweb Detailed notes on what actually did. https://gist.github.com/jaseemabid/3218461 Gitweb is 1 huge perl script and even though it *works*, it is a poor work in 2013. The code is pretty old and is a hard thing to jump into. Quite a few here helped me to get started and it was a pretty good experience. Jakub was the mentor. Ram and John 'warthog' Hawley occasionally helped with git and general feedback back then. Andrew Sayers <andrew-git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> helped a lot, but he just disappeared one day. I remember John mentioning about splitting the file into smaller ones, rewriting some sections, adding more documentation etc. I'm not sure if any work was done on this. I couldn't follow the project for sometime. I will try to make some time and finish it off in the next week or so. I am having a bad schedule now between school and job, but will try my level best. -- Regards, Jaseem Abid github.com/jaseemabid -- 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
