hiding a certain file from gitweb

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear list,

one of my colleagues checked a file with thousands of email
addresses into git and pushed the commit, so now the file is on
gitweb. This was quite a while ago and we have over 500 commits and
several branches between now and then. We want to open our gitweb to
the public, but to do that, I need to somehow ensure that the file's
content is not available via gitweb, or else the spammers will have
a feast. Is it possible to somehow hide the file from gitweb but
keep it in the repo?

Alternatively, would a patch against gitweb be considered, which
obfuscated email addresses? Or would that interfere with the world
— I note that e.g. ikiwiki's git configuration requires you to
specify the gitweb URL (and not a repo URL).

Cheers,
