Frank Lichtenheld eb1780d480 cvsserver: Make the database backend configurable 
Make all the different parts of the database backend connection
configurable. This adds the following string configuration variables:
- gitcvs.dbdriver
- gitcvs.dbname
- gitcvs.dbuser
- gitcvs.dbpass
The default values emulate the current behavior exactly for
backwards compatibility.
All configuration variables can also be specified for a specific
access method (i.e. in the form gitcvs.<method>.<var>)

The dbdriver/dbuser/dbpass variables are added for completness.
No other backend than SQLite is tested yet.
The dbname variable on the other hand is useful with this backend
already (to not discriminate against other possible backends
it was not splitted in dbdir and dbfile).

Both dbname and dbuser support dynamic variable substitution where
the available variables are:
%m -- the CVS 'module' (i.e. GIT 'head') worked on
%a -- CVS access method used (i.e. 'ext' or 'pserver')
%u -- User name of the user invoking git-cvsserver
%G -- .git directory name
%g -- .git directory name, mangled to be used in a filename,
      currently this substitutes all chars except for [\w.-]
      with '_'

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

	GIT - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands,
and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt.

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
