Re: [PATCH] gitweb: Support for custom per-project owner string

Dear diary, on Wed, Sep 20, 2006 at 01:04:50AM CEST, I got a letter
where Jakub Narebski [off-list ref] said that...

This adds very simple support for per-project setting of the owner string
(in an environment where the actual owners won't have access to the
repositories accessed by gitweb, so faking identity is not an issue).

Is it really needed? If $projects_list is a _file_, you can set correct
ownership information there.

Now $projects_list being a directory (usually $projectroot) support
hierarchy of repositories; generating appropriate projects' index file
is as easy as unsetting $projects_list (so it is by default set to
$projectroot), going to summary view, clicking [TXT] link on the left of
[OPML] link at the bottom, copy the result to projects' index file, correct
ownership information (and perhaps remove some projects), and set
$projects_list to this file.

Which is not really easy at all. I would have to do some ugly script to
autogenerate the text file while this way I can just throw the data to
the hierarchy and having everything still working magically.
