Snapshots are already supported in cgit, they were just disabled. I’ve now enabled them for commits. As for sort by age for branches, I wasn’t aware that existed… it’s on the todo list now.

I still cannot sort branches by age (gitweb default sorting order)

Also gitweb has a “snapshot” link for each commit, which generates a tarball of the tree on the fly to be downloaded.

Thanks for arranging support for full logs that I requested and missed!

Do you plan to package cgit for Debian? We’d certainly appreciate it!

One thing I’m missing is the fact that gitweb would sort branches by idle time. This allowed me to easily see which branches I could probably ignore because of their age, and obviously which branches were used recently.

Thanks for your work in improving cgit!
