cgit gains new functionality

After a few weeks of the cgit change over happening, I’ve been working with Lars Hjemli (cgit creator) to try and add the remaining functionality that gitweb had, but cgit was missing. Very quickly I added sort by age functionality which left only full log support.

Well Lars has done a great job responding to requests and hence not only has full log support now been implemented, but he’s also cleaned up my hack to allow sort by any column.  Thanks for this Lars and for the other bug fixes!

So now http://cgit.freedesktop.org/ should have all the functionality of gitweb. If not – please let me know!

For those that want to try this pre v 0.8.2 functionality on their own website, just use the wip branch from the git repo.

With CGit v0.8 supporting, atom feeds, patch targets and also the clone-url option, it’s time to finally rid ourselves of the memory hungry gitweb.

Hence all the old gitweb url’s should correctly translate into cgit urls.
