[PATCH] Pull gitweb If-Modified-Since handling out into its own function and use for snapshots.

From
W. Trevor King <wking@drexel.edu>
Date
Mar 15, 2012, 07:54 UTC
Message-ID
<20120315075407.GA18246@odin.tremily.us>

The current gitweb only generates Last-Modified and handles If-Modified-Since headers for the git_feed action. This patch breaks the Last-Modified and If-Modified-Since handling code out from git_feed into a new function modified_since. This makes the code easy to reuse for other actions where it is appropriate, and I've added the code to do that in git_snapshot.
