The script we're using on freedesktop.org is something like this: http://people.freedesktop.org/~krh/find-repos.sh which isn't too scary. We run it from a cron script, every ten minutes or so. It's much better than rescanning all the dirs every time somebody requests the repo listing (we have a lot of repos, check cgit.freedesktop.org). We have no need for cgit to to this automatically on every request, and I don't see us using that feature if it gets implemented. cheers, Kristian -- 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
