Is this new one bytecount based rather than lines-changed based also
for text files?

It was tested by the author (Bruno Ribas) that it doesn't affect
performance, although IMHO for a bit superficial test (1000 identical
repositories, gitweb run as a script, dd or git-for-each-ref as an
additional load).  I'd like to heard from larger gitweb deployments
how it works with a webserver (ApacheBench or similar), with a real
set of repositories, and perhaps in real load conditions... of course
on test gitweb, not on live one.

I also wonder if it would make sense to make it a feature,
i.e. instead of

+       if (!defined $owner){
+               $owner = git_get_project_config('owner');
+       }
        if (!defined $owner) {

have

+       if (!defined $owner){
+               $owner = gitweb_check_feature('owner');
+       }
        if (!defined $owner) {

with the 'owner' feature set as below:

+	'owner' => {
+		'sub' => \&feature_repo_owner,
+		'override' => 1,
+		'default' => [undef]},

and some implementation of feature_repo_owner.  This way it would be
possible to turn off checking for gitweb.owner in repo config from
withing gitweb config.  But this migh be an overingeneering...


I'd like to wait for a bit for comments, and if there wouldn't be any
negative ones, merge it in... and wait who screams ;-)

What about making separate libexecdir and moving _helper_ scripts
(*--*) there first?
