The mirror executor will fetch ref updates for repository mirrors. This
feature is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting
git.enableMirroring=true. The period between update checks is
configurable, but it is global. An individual rpeository may not set
it's own update schedule.
Requirements:
1. you must manually clone the repository using native git
git clone --mirror git://somewhere.com/myrepo.git
2. the "origin" remote must be the mirror source
3. the "origin" repository must be accessible without authentication OR
the credentials must be embedded in the origin url (not recommended)
Notes:
1. "origin" SSH urls are untested and not likely to work
2. mirrors cloned while Gitblit is running are likely to require
clearing the gitblit cache (link on the repositories page of an
administrator account)
3. Gitblit will automatically repair any invalid fetch refspecs with a
"//" sequence.

Reorganized to Apache Standard Directory Layout & integrated Moxie
This is a massive commit which reorganizes the entire project structure
(although it is still monolithic), removes the Build classes, and
switches to Moxie, a smarter Ant build tookit based on the original
Gitblit Build classes.
The Ant build script will likely require additional fine-tuning, but
this is big step forward.
Preliminary implementation of server-side forking (issue 137)
The fork mechanism clones the repository , access restrictions, and
other config options. The app has been updated throughout to handle
personal repositories and to properly display origin/fork links.
In order to fork a repository the user account must have the #fork role,
the origin repository must permit forking, and the user account must
have standard clone permissions to the repository.
Because forking introduces a new user role no existing user accounts can
automatically begin forking a repository. This is both a pro and a con.
Since the fork has the same access restrictions as the origin repository,
those who can access the origin may also access the fork. This is intentional
to facilitate integration-manager workflow. The fork owner does have the
power to completely change the access restrictions of his/her fork.
Draft project pages, project metadata, and RSS feeds
This is an in-progress feature to offer an interface for grouped
repositories. This may help installations with large numbers of
repositories stay organized. It also will be part of a future,
more advanced security model.
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.
