And you do not need these four lines, as they match what you have in the e-mail header.
I added an optional variable, 'disabled', to to the $known_snapshot_formats keys so that a Gitweb administrator can globally enable or disable a specific format for snapshots.
"to to"? We tend not to say "I did this and that" in our log messsages; order the codebase to do certain new things, or order the maintainer to change the code to make it do new things. e.g. Allow gitweb administrators to set in %known_snapshot_formats hash an optional key, 'disabled' for specific format. This can be used to configure out individual formats.
All formats are enabled by default because project specific overriding is disabled by default.
That is not quite a good justification; but "all the formats have been enabled so far, and installing an updated gitweb should not change the existing behaviour" is.
