[PATCH 0/1] : [GITWEB] : Git link on project list page

This is a quick port of the git link patch that's present on kernel.org's gitweb, project list page.

- John 'Warthog9' Hawley

This makes the assumption that all repositories are available from a unified location.

Using .git/cloneurl is actually a problem as that can define multiple URLs to clone from, and we are seeking a single unified URL for now.

fork links at repo.or.cz.

You meant $projectlist_gitlinkurl.

Note that I will soon submit a generic patch that lets you extend
the link lists with custom entries - you could easily use that for
the git links (I'm personally not convinced how useful they really are
on the project list page), I will use them for the graphiclog, edit and
fork links at repo.or.cz.

I've found them useful, and there were requests out on the mailing list
for this to be added, thus the patching.  It's not on by default, so
it's impact should be minimal unless people specifically want the link.

grrr - I've fixed that same bug twice now, had problems with something
and must have reverted the wrong thing, I'll fix it and re-submit.

When you do the more generic patch to extend the links I'll flip this
over to that code, unless you think it's worth holding off and waiting
for that change to go in first?

By the way, you should add this to gitweb/README too (though I've never
been too fond of listing the options twice myself; my strategy to avoid
it is to just add as much stuff possible to the $features hash ;-).

Coding style conformant and equivalent but simpler variant would be

	if ($projectlist_gitlinkurl) {

right?

It's a new feature so it probably won't make it to 1.6.0 - so let's see
if I manage to submit mine before 1.6.0. ;-)
