If an object id was not specified Gitblit used HEAD to perform the
operation. This breaks under some conditions like working with a
repository that does not have any commits on master but does have
commits on a vcs-import branch.
The new approach is to centralize the resolution of unspecified object
ids to a common method which resolves HEAD first but uses the most
recently modified branch if HEAD points to nothing.
This commit also includes a non-functional method for creating an empty
branch. I couldn't figure out how to make JGit create an orphaned
branch.
Jetty 7.4.4 introduces a fix to correct url generation. Unfortunately,
this "fix" creates a bug for resolving the root page. Evidently the bug
may really be in Wicket.
Wicket Bug: WICKET-3841

* Renamed prunsrv.exe to gitblit.exe so that task manager shows
more useful information.
* Documented how to configure the service to use a server VM, if a JDK
is present.
* 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.
Added AccessRestrictionFilter and simplified authentication.
Replaced servlet container basic authentication with a custom servlet
filter which performs the same function. The advantage to this is
that the servlet container is now divorced from the webapp.
The login service (realm) also simplified a great deal and removes its
Jetty dependencies.
Additionally, the basic authorization pop-up will be displayed as
needed based on the repository's access restriction. This was
necessary for view-restricted repositories with the RSS feature. Its
also necessary for completely open repositories as before it would
prompt for credentials.
Improved feed syndication feature.
