Replace control characters with question mark '?' (like in
chop_and_esc_str).
A little background: some web browsers turn on strict (and
unforgiving) XML validating mode for XHTML documents served using
application/xhtml+xml content type. This means among others that
control characters are forbidden to appear in gitweb output.
CGI.pm does by default slight escaping (using simple_escape subroutine
from CGI::Util) of all _attribute_ values (depending on the value of
autoEscape, by default on). This escaping, at least in CGI.pm version
3.10 (most current version at CPAN is 3.43), is minimal: only '"',
'&', '<' and '>' are escaped using named HTML entity references
(", &, < and > respectively). But simple_escape does
not do escaping of control characters such as ^X which are invalid in
XHTML (in strict mode).
If by some accident commit message do contain some control character
in first 50 characters (more or less) of first line of commit message,
and this line is longer than 50 characters (so gitweb shortens it for
display), then gitweb would put this control character in title
attribute (and CGI.pm would not remove them). The tag _contents_ is
safe because it is escaped using esc_html() explicitly, and it
replaces control characters by their printable representation.
While at it: chop_and_escape_str doesn't need capturing group.

This issue was caught by perlcritic in harsh severity level noticing
that catch variable was used outside conditional thanks to the
Perl::Critic::Policy::RegularExpressions::ProhibitCaptureWithoutTest
policy. See "Perl Best Practices", chapter 12. Regular Expressions,
section 12.15. Captured Values:
Pattern matches that fail never assign anything to $1, $2, etc.,
nor do they leave those variables undefined. After an unsuccessful
pattern match, the numeric capture variables remain exactly as they
were before the match was attempted.
New version is in my opinion much easier to understand; previous
version worked correctly due to the fact that we returned from loop
on first found match.

Use block form of 'grep' i.e. 'grep {BLOCK} LIST' rather than

code more readable, as expression is rather long, and statement above
there is 'map' with very similar expression also in the block form.
Remove unnecessary and misleading parentheses around block form 'map'

Use of function prototypes is considered bad practice in Perl. The

removed.
>From perlsub(1):
[...] the intent of this feature [prototypes] is primarily to let

We don't want to have subroutines behaving exactly like built-in

The current implementation only hyperlinks the first hash on
a given line of the commit message. It seems sensible to
highlight all of them if there are multiple, and it seems
plausible that there would be multiple even with a tidy line
length limit, because they can be abbreviated as short as 8
characters.
Benchmark:
I wanted to make sure that using the 'e' switch to the Perl regex
wasn't going to kill performance, since this is called once per commit
message line displayed.
In all three A/B scenarios I tried, the A and B yielded the same
results within 2%, where A is the version of code before this patch
and B is the version after.
1: View a commit message containing the last 1000 commit hashes
2: View a commit message containing 1000 lines of 40 dots to avoid
hyperlinking at the same message length
3: View a short merge commit message with a few lines of text and
no hashes
All were run in CGI mode on my sub-production hardware on a recent
clone of git.git. Numbers are the average of 10 reqests per second
with the first request discarded, since I expect this change to affect
primarily CPU usage. Measured with ApacheBench.
Note that the web page rendered was the same; while the new code
supports multiple hashes per line, there was at most one per line.
The primary purpose of scenarios 2 and 3 were to verify that the
addition of 1000 commit messages had an impact on how much of the time
was spent rendering commit messages. They were all within 2% of 0.80
requests per second (much faster).
So I think the patch has no noticeable effect on performance.

When a feature like "blame" is permitted to be overridden in the
repository configuration but it is not actually set in the repository,
a warning is emitted due to the undefined value of the repository
configuration, even though it's a perfectly normal condition.
Emitting warning is grounds for test failure in the gitweb test
script.
This error was caused by rewrite of git_get_project_config from using
"git config [<type>] <name>" for each individual configuration
variable checked to parsing "git config --list --null" output in
commit b201927 (gitweb: Read repo config using 'git config -z -l').
Earlier version of git_get_project_config was returning empty string
if variable do not exist in config; newer version is meant to return
undef in this case, therefore change in feature_bool was needed.
Additionally config_to_* subroutines were meant to be invoked only if
configuration variable exists; therefore we added early return to
git_get_project_config: it now returns no value if variable does not
exists in config. Otherwise config_to_* subroutines (config_to_bool
in paryicular) wouldn't be able to distinguish between the case where
variable does not exist and the case where variable doesn't have value
(the "[section] noval" case, which evaluates to true for boolean).
While at it fix bug in config_to_bool, where checking if $val is
defined (if config variable has value) was done _after_ stripping
leading and trailing whitespace, which lead to 'Use of uninitialized
value' warning.
Add test case for features overridable but not overriden in repo
config, and case for no value boolean configuration variable.

CGI::url() has some issues when rebuilding the script URL if the script
is a DirectoryIndex.
One of these issue is the inability to strip PATH_INFO, which is why
we had to do it ourselves.
Another issue is that the resulting URL cannot be used for the <base>
tag: it works if we're the DirectoryIndex at the root level, but not
otherwise.
We fix this by building the proper base URL ourselves, and improve the
comment about the need to strip PATH_INFO manually while we're at it.
Additionally t/t9500-gitweb-standalone-no-errors.sh had to be modified
to set SCRIPT_NAME variable (CGI standard states that it MUST be set,

The output of commitdiff_plain is not intended for git-am:
* when given a range of commits, commitdiff_plain publishes a single
patch with the message from the first commit, instead of a patchset
* the hand-built email format replicates the commit summary both as
email subject and as first line of the email itself, resulting in
a duplication if the output is used with git-am.
We thus create a new view that can be fed to git-am directly, allowing
patch exchange via gitweb. The new view exposes the output of git
format-patch directly, limiting it to a single patch in the case of a
single commit.
A configurable upper limit defaulting to 16 is imposed on the number of
commits which will be included in a patchset, to prevent DoS attacks on
the server. Setting the limit to 0 will disable the patch view, setting
it to a negative number will remove the limit.

Luben Tuikov changed 'lineno' link from leading to commit which gave
current version of given block of lines, to leading to parent of this
commit in 244a70e (Blame "linenr" link jumps to previous state at
"orig_lineno"). This made possible data mining using 'blame' view.
The current implementation calls rev-parse once per each blamed line
to find parent revision of blamed commit, even when the same commit
appears more than once, which is inefficient.
This patch mitigates this issue by caching $parent_commit info in
%metainfo, which makes gitweb call rev-parse only once per each
unique commit in the output from "git blame".
In the tables below you can see simple benchmark comparing gitweb
performance before and after this patch

As you can see the greater ratio of lines in file to unique commits
in blame output, the greater gain from the new implementation.
Legend:
[1] Number of lines:
$ wc -l <file>
[2] Number of unique commits in the blame output:
$ git blame -p <file> | grep author-time | wc -l
[3] Time for running "git blame -p" (user time, single run):
$ time git blame -p <file> >/dev/null
[4] Time to run gitweb as Perl script from command line:
$ gitweb-run.sh "p=.git;a=blame;f=<file>" > /dev/null 2>&1
The gitweb-run.sh script includes slightly modified (with adjusted
pathnames) code from gitweb_run() function from the test script
t/t9500-gitweb-standalone-no-errors.sh; gitweb config file
gitweb_config.perl contents (again up to adjusting pathnames; in
particular $projectroot variable should point to top directory of git
repository) can be found in the same place.
Discussion
~~~~~~~~~~
A possible future improvement would be to open a bidi pipe to
"git cat-file --batch-check", (like in Git::Repo in gitweb caching by
Lea Wiemann), feed $long_rev^ to it, and parse its output, which is
in the following form:
926b07e694599d86cec668475071b32147c95034 commit 637
This would mean one call to git-cat-file for the whole 'blame' view,
instead of one call to git-rev-parse per each unique commit in blame
output.
Yet another solution would be to change use of validate_refname() to
validate_revision() when checking script parameters (CGI query or
path_info), with validate_revision being something like the following:
sub validate_revision {
my $rev = shift;
return validate_refname(strip_rev_suffixes($rev));
}
so we don't need to calculate $long_rev^, but can pass "$long_rev^" as
'hb' parameter.
This solution has the advantage that it can be easily adapted to future
incremental blame output.

All non-ASCII chars of those files will be broken by Perl IO layer
without decoding to utf8, so insert_file() does to_utf8() on each
printed line; alternate solution would be to open those files with
"binmode $fh, ':utf8'", or even all files with "use open qw(:std :utf8)".

The gitweb_get_feature() function retrieves the configuration parameters
for the feature (such as the list of snapshot formats or the list of
additional actions), but it is very often used to see if feature is
enabled (which is returned as the first element in the list).
Because accepting the returned list in the scalar context by mistake
yields the number of elements in the array, which is non-zero in all
cases, such a mistake would result in a bug for the latter use, with
disabled features appearing enabled. All existing callers that call the
function for this purpose assign the return value in the list context to
retrieve the first element, but that is only because we fixed careless
callers recently.
This adds gitweb_check_feature() as a wrapper to gitweb_get_feature() that
can be called safely in the scalar context to see if a feature is enabled
to reduce the risk of future bugs. Callers of "get" that use the call
only to see if the feature is enabled are updated to call this wrapper.

to call the function correctly in the list context.

ModPerl::Registry precompiles scripts by wrapping them
in a subroutine. This causes ordinary subroutines of the
script to become nested, and warnings appear:
gitweb.cgi: Variable "$path_info" will not stay shared
This warning means that $path_info was declared as 'my',
and thus according to the perl evaluation rules all nested
subroutines will retain a reference to the instance of the
variable used in the first invocation of the master script.
When the script (i.e. the master meta-subroutine) is executed
the second time, it will use a new instance, so the logic
breaks. To avoid this it is necessary to declare all global
variables as 'our', which places them at the package level.

Add a configuration variable that can be used to specify an
arbitrary subroutine that will be called in the same situations
where $export_ok is checked, and its return value used
to decide whether the repository is to be shown.
This allows the user to implement custom authentication
schemes, for example by issuing a subrequest through mod_perl
and checking if Apache will authorize it.
