- Centralize knowledge about snapshot formats (mime types, extensions,
commands) in %known_snapshot_formats and improve how some of that
information is specified. In particular, zip files are no longer a
special case.
- Add support for offering multiple snapshot formats to the user so
that he/she can download a snapshot in the format he/she prefers.
The site-wide or project configuration now gives a list of formats
to offer, and if more than one format is offered, the "_snapshot_"
link becomes something like "snapshot (_tar.bz2_ _zip_)".
- If only one format is offered, a tooltip on the "_snapshot_" link
tells the user what it is.
- Fix out-of-date "tarball" -> "archive" in comment.
Alert for gitweb site administrators: This patch changes the format of
$feature{'snapshot'}{'default'} in gitweb_config.perl from a list of
three pieces of information about a single format to a list of one or
more formats you wish to offer from the set ('tgz', 'tbz2', 'zip').
Update your gitweb_config.perl appropriately. There was taken care
for old-style gitweb configuration to work as it used to, but this
backward compatibility works only for the values which correspond to
gitweb.snapshot values of 'gzip', 'bzip2' and 'zip', i.e.
['x-gzip', 'gz', 'gzip']
['x-bzip2', 'bz2', 'bzip2']
['x-zip', 'zip', '']
The preferred names for gitweb.snapshot in repository configuration
have also changed from 'gzip' and 'bzip2' to 'tgz' and 'tbz2', but
the old names are still recognized for compatibility.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 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. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
