[PATCH] gitweb: more support for PATH_INFO based URLs

From: Martin Waitz <tali@admingilde.org>
Date: Sep 16, 2006, 21:08 UTC
Message-ID: <20060916210832.GV17042@admingilde.org>

Now three types of path based URLs are supported:
	gitweb.cgi/project.git
	gitweb.cgi/project.git/branch
	gitweb.cgi/project.git/branch/filename

The first one (show project summary) was already supported for a long time now. The other two are new: they show the shortlog of a branch or the plain file contents of some file contained in the repository.

This is especially useful to support project web pages for small projects: just create an html branch and then use an URL like gitweb.cgi/project.git/html/index.html.
