Is this correct?

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] gitweb: support to globally enable/disable a  
snapshot format

I added an 'enabled' variable to to the $known_snapshot_format keys so that a Gitweb administrator can globally enable or disable a specific format for snapshots.

All formats are enabled by default because project specific overriding is disabled by default.

Re: [PATCH 2/2] gitweb: support to globally enable/disable a snapshot format

By the way, somehow [PATCH 2/2] doesn't look for me as if it was reply to [PATCH 1/2] email...

Thanks for doing it.
It is correct, although I had in mind slightly different solution

I'd rather use here, taking for example 'txz' as "known but disabled"
  +		'compressor' => ['xz'],
  +		'disabled' => 1},

And then you would not need to modify the rest of snapshot formats, making use of the fact that $hash{'key'} is false-ish, if 'key' does not exist in hash.

Also, this should be documented at least in comments.

This would be modified then to read:
  +	} elsif ($known_snapshot_formats{$format}{'disabled'}) {
  +		die_error(403, "Snapshot format not allowed");

Also, we want not only protect againts *using* known but disabled format, but also do not display it as one of formats available, even if project specific override is supprted for snapshot, and projects list it in gitweb.snapshot:
