Use Guice-Servlet rather than custom code and expose the Injector
This is a fairly functional variation of Gitblit with one notable
exception:
The security filters are not working properly.
This is a design flaw in Guice that I have reported upstream [1]. The
general idea is that Guice-Servlet filters are not properly wrapping the
ServletRequest. This has historically been a problem for Guice-Servlet
servlets but Google has fixed most of those issues. Unfortunately, all
the same flaws reported against the servlet delegation also exist in
Guice-Servlet filter delegation. :(

Plugins are stored in `${baseFolder}/plugins` and are loaded
during startup by the PluginManager.
A plugin defines it's metadata in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF:
Plugin-Class: com.gitblit.plugins.cookbook.CookbookPlugin
Plugin-Dependencies: foo, bar
Plugin-Id: gitblit-plugin
Plugin-Provider: John Doe
Plugin-Version: 1.0
Plugins can define extension points that can be implemented
by other plugins and they can depend on other plugins:
Plugin-Dependencies: foo, bar
During the load phase, a directed acyclic graph is built and the loading
order of the dependency chain is reversed using a topological sort;
parent followed by children. The parent plugin classloader is the
combined classloader of all parent plugins.

Support serving repositories over the SSH transport
Gitblit would greatly benefit from an integrated SSH server. This would
complete the transport trifecta.
