[PATCH] gitweb: redacted e-mail addresses feature.

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

 



From: Georgios Kontaxis <geko1702+commits@xxxxxxxxx>

Gitweb extracts content from the Git log and makes it accessible
over HTTP. As a result, e-mail addresses found in commits are
exposed to web crawlers. This may result in unsolicited messages.
This is a feature for redacting e-mail addresses from the generated
HTML content.

This feature does not prevent someone from downloading the
unredacted commit log and extracting information from it.
It aims to hinder the low-effort bulk collection of e-mail
addresses by web crawlers.
