What's notable about \"instaweb\" is that it talks with an\non-demand instance of \"gitweb\" and that is the only reason why we\nmay want to mention it together with \"gitweb\".  There are other\nrepository browsers (like \"tig\") that do not talk with a local\n\"gitweb\", and we are not intersted in mentioning them all here.\n\n> The defualt server when using instaweb is\n> +lighttpd.\n\ns/defualt/default/;\n\n> +See the file gitweb/INSTALL in the Git source tree and\n> +linkgit:gitweb[1] for instructions on details setting up a permament\n> +installation with a CGI or Perl capable server.\n>  \n>  [[sharing-development-examples]]\n>  Examples\n> @@ -4651,8 +4661,6 @@ documentation.\n>  Add a section on working with other version control systems, including\n>  CVS, Subversion, and just imports of series of release tarballs.\n>  \n> -More details on gitweb?\n> -\n>  Write a chapter on using plumbing and writing scripts.\n>  \n>  Alternates, clone -reference, etc.\n\nOther than that, looks good to me.\n\nThanks.\n"},{"id":"275216","messageId":"1451517920-30703-1-git-send-email-ischis2@cox.net","threadId":"41101","inReplyTo":"xmqqoad7d1g0.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com","subject":"[PATCH V2] user-manual: add addition gitweb information","fromName":"Stephen P.
