Jakub NarebskiUse 'text/plain' for files which are text and can be viewed in a browser, and are not among a few 'text/*' mimetypes universally recognized by web browsers. This means files with 'text/*' which are not text/html, text/css, text/sgml or text/xml, and files with 'application/x-*' mimetype which are nevertheless text: javascript, shell, Perl, Tcl, (La)TeX,...
Signed-off-by: Jakub Narebski <jnareb@gmail.com> --- Tired of my web browser (Mozilla) asking me what I want to do with shell script, Perl script or LaTeX document when using 'blob_plain' (raw) view, because of declaration in mimetypes file I have added mimetype sanitizing to gitweb.
It is an RFC partially because list of mimetypes is a bit arbitrary. Additionally I guess that the mimetype sanitizing should be separated into subroutine.
But most of all beause proper solution is to create mimetype file for use by gitweb.
