* Clarified SSL certificate generation and configuration in light of the
hostname verificiation that JGit currently does despite
the http.sslVerify=false setting.
* Added some troubleshooting information related to filesystem
permissions and reading repositories.
* Switched from JavaService to Apache Commons Daemon. Not sure what
happened to JavaService as it stopped working for me on Windows 7 with
Java 1.6.0_26. Commons Daemon accomplishes the same thing and offers a
nice service control utility.
* Build script overhaul including building & publishing GO, WAR, Docs,
and Site.
* Restored JGit 0.12.1 dependency and backported Blame. Got tired of
waiting for JGit 1.0.0 Maven artifacts.
* Changed Summary Page layout
* Optional cookie authentication
* Added icons for log, tags, and branches panels.
* Show last commit author and short message on branches panel.
* Unit testing.
* Documentation.
Reorganization of resources. Dropped most hard-coded webapp
configuration in favor of common web.xml file. Still contemplating
configuring git servlet from web.xml too.
Build infrastructure improvements. Setting to show remote branches.
The JGit team is now publishing 0.12.1 artifacts on the Eclipse Maven
site. Yeah! That was the last missing piece for a slick Git:Blit
deployment. The build has been reworked to download from Eclipse and
to also download source and javadoc jars for setting up a development
environment.
Made the log4j pattern configurable by operating system.
Moved Markdown utils to their own class since I need StringUtils for
Build and that introduced a chicken-and-egg scenario.
The current ticgit implementation is based on ticgit.net, a BSD
implementation for C#. Jeff Welling advises using commit
bf57b032e0 (2009-01-27) from ticgit as the last MIT licensed
commit.
A more complete implementation will be based on this version of the
original Ruby sources. It remains unclear if I will support using the
"ticgit" branch name or not. I purposefully haven't looked at any of
the GPL improvements by Jeff, but I can see from the readme at GitHub
that he has renamed the branch to "ticgit-ng" which I have no plans on
supporting as I do not want to taint GitBlit with GPL code.
Settings overhaul. Fixes to authentication. Bind interface feature.
Settings access has been abstracted and the way is becoming clear to
offer a WAR build in addition to the integrated server stack. Util
methods moved around.
Authenticate the webapp against the same realm as the git servlet.
Right now the implementation is hard-coded to pass the realm into a
singleton. This won't work for a WAR distribution so I will
need to figure out how to properly authenticate the webapp using form
authentication and the git servlet using basic authentication - host
against the same realm.
