Change the log formatting function to know about "git describe" output like v2.8.0-4-g867ad08 in addition to just plain 867ad08. This also fixes a micro-regression in my change of the minimum SHA1 length from 8 to 7, which is that dated tags like hadoop-20160921-113441-20-g094fb7d would start thinking the "20160921" part was a commit. There are still many valid refnames that we don't link to e.g. v2.10.0-rc1~2^2~1 is also a valid way to refer to v2.8.0-4-g867ad08, but I'm not supporting that with this commit, similarly it's trivially possible to create some refnames like "æ/var-gf6727b0" or whatever which won't be picked up by this regex. There's surely room for improvement here, but I just wanted to address the very common case of sticking "git describe" output into commit messages without trying to link to all possible refnames, that's going to be a rather futile exercise given that this is free text, and it would be prohibitively expensive to look up whether the references in question exist in our repository. --- gitweb/gitweb.perl | 18 ++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/gitweb/gitweb.perl b/gitweb/gitweb.perl index 101dbc0..3a52bc7 100755 --- a/gitweb/gitweb.perl +++ b/gitweb/gitweb.perl @@ -2036,10 +2036,24 @@ sub format_log_line_html { my $line = shift; $line = esc_html($line, -nbsp=>1); - $line =~ s{\b([0-9a-fA-F]{7,40})\b}{ + $line =~ s{ + \b + ( + # The output of "git describe", e.g. v2.10.0-297-gf6727b0 + # or hadoop-20160921-113441-20-g094fb7d + (?<!-) # see strbuf_check_tag_ref().
