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!

How to sort by age/owner in cgit

How to View A Full Log in CGit

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.

Here’s the url redirect list in case someone else wants to use cgit over gitweb (highly recommended)

        ServerAdmin sitewranglers@freedesktop.org

        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/gitweb.freedesktop.org-access.log combined
        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/gitweb.freedesktop.org-error.log
