git-sh-setup.sh: remove "say" function, change last users

2022-06-28T20:13:18Z

Remove the "say" function, with various rewrites of the remaining git-*.sh code to C and the preceding change to have git-submodule.sh stop using the GIT_QUIET variable there were only four uses in git-subtree.sh. Let's have it use an "arg_quiet" variable instead, and move the "say" function over to it. The only other use was a trivial message in git-instaweb.sh, since it has never supported the --quiet option (or similar) that code added in 0b624b4ceee (instaweb: restart server if already running, 2009-11-22) can simply use "echo" instead. The remaining in-tree hits from "say" are all for the sibling function defined in t/test-lib.sh. It's safe to remove this function since it has never been documented in Documentation/git-sh-setup.txt. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git-sh-setup: remove "sane_grep", it's not needed anymore

2021-10-21T23:17:57Z

Remove the sane_grep() shell function in git-sh-setup. The two reasons for why it existed don't apply anymore: 1. It was added due to GNU grep supporting GREP_OPTIONS. See e1622bfcbad (Protect scripted Porcelains from GREP_OPTIONS insanity, 2009-11-23). Newer versions of GNU grep ignore that, but even on older versions its existence won't matter, none of these sane_grep() uses care about grep's output, they're merely using it to check if a string exists in a file or stream. We also don't care about the "LC_ALL=C" that "sane_grep" was using, these greps for fixed or ASCII strings will behave the same under any locale. 2. The SANE_TEXT_GREP added in 71b401032b9 (sane_grep: pass "-a" if grep accepts it, 2016-03-08) isn't needed either, none of these grep uses deal with binary data.

git-instaweb: unconditionally assume that gitweb is mod_perl capable

2021-10-21T23:17:57Z

Remove a check for whether mod_perl is a supported mode of gitweb.cgi added in a51d37c1df6 (Add git-instaweb, instantly browse the working repo with gitweb, 2006-07-01). The reason for the check was to support users who had a newer version of git and an older version of gitweb, it was then subsequently adjusted for changes in the script in f0e588dffc1 (git-instaweb: fix mod_perl detection for apache2, 2009-08-08). It's a fair bet that nobody's running a git from 2021 and gitweb from pre-2007 anymore, so we can unconditionally assume that this will be supported by gitweb.cgi. This allows a subsequent commit to remove the sane_grep() wrapper, this change is split up from that since this is the only case where the "grep" invocation could be removed entirely.

git-instaweb: add Python builtin http.server support

2019-01-28T18:57:44Z

With this patch it is possible to launch git-instaweb by using Python http.server CGI handler via `-d python` option. git-instaweb generates a small wrapper around the http.server (in GIT_DIR/gitweb/) that address a limitation of the CGI handler where CGI scripts have to be in a cgi-bin subdirectory and directory index can't be easily changed. To keep the implementation small, gitweb is running on url `/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi` and an automatic redirection is done when opening `/`. The generated wrapper is compatible with both Python 2 and 3. Python is by default installed on most modern Linux distributions which enables running `git instaweb -d python` without needing anything else. Signed-off-by: Arti Zirk Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git-instaweb: fix apache2 config with apache >= 2.4

2018-08-08T15:30:07Z

The generated apache2 config fails with apache >= 2.4. The error log states: AH00136: Server MUST relinquish startup privileges before accepting connections. Please ensure mod_unixd or other system security module is loaded. AH00016: Configuration Failed Fix this by loading the unixd module. This works with older httpd as well, so no IfVersion conditional is needed. (Tested with httpd-2.2.15 on CentOS-6.)

git-instaweb: support Fedora/Red Hat apache module path

2018-08-08T15:29:45Z

On Fedora-derived systems, the apache httpd package installs modules under /usr/lib{,64}/httpd/modules, depending on whether the system is 32- or 64-bit. A symlink from /etc/httpd/modules is created which points to the proper module path. Use it to support apache on Fedora, CentOS, and Red Hat systems.

git-instaweb: use @SHELL_PATH@ instead of /bin/sh

2015-03-10T22:10:35Z

If the user has configured a value for SHELL_PATH then be sure to use it for any generated scripts instead of hard-coding /bin/sh. The first line of the script is handled specially, but the embedded #!/bin/sh line in the here document will not be automatically updated unless it uses @SHELL_PATH@. Signed-off-by: Kyle J.
