-How to configure gitweb for your local system
----------------------------------------------
-
-See also the "Build time configuration" section in the INSTALL
-file for gitweb (in gitweb/INSTALL).
-
-You can specify the following configuration variables when building GIT:
- * GIT_BINDIR
-   Points where to find the git executable.  You should set it up to
-   the place where the git binary was installed (usually /usr/bin) if you
-   don't install git from sources together with gitweb.  [Default: $(bindir)]
- * GITWEB_SITENAME
-   Shown in the title of all generated pages, defaults to the server name
-   (SERVER_NAME CGI environment variable) if not set. [No default]
- * GITWEB_PROJECTROOT
-   The root directory for all projects shown by gitweb. Must be set
-   correctly for gitweb to find repositories to display.  See also
-   "Gitweb repositories" in the INSTALL file for gitweb.  [Default: /pub/git]
- * GITWEB_PROJECT_MAXDEPTH
-   The filesystem traversing limit for getting the project list; the number
-   is taken as depth relative to the projectroot.  It is used when
-   GITWEB_LIST is a directory (or is not set; then project root is used).
-   Is is meant to speed up project listing on large work trees by limiting
-   search depth.  [Default: 2007]
- * GITWEB_LIST
-   Points to a directory to scan for projects (defaults to project root
-   if not set / if empty) or to a file with explicit listing of projects
-   (together with projects' ownership). See "Generating projects list
-   using gitweb" in INSTALL file for gitweb to find out how to generate
-   such file from scan of a directory. [No default, which means use root
-   directory for projects]
- * GITWEB_EXPORT_OK
-   Show repository only if this file exists (in repository).  Only
-   effective if this variable evaluates to true.  [No default / Not set]
- * GITWEB_STRICT_EXPORT
-   Only allow viewing of repositories also shown on the overview page.
-   This for example makes GITWEB_EXPORT_OK to decide if repository is
-   available and not only if it is shown.  If GITWEB_LIST points to
-   file with list of project, only those repositories listed would be
-   available for gitweb.  [No default]
- * GITWEB_HOMETEXT
-   Points to an .html file which is included on the gitweb project
-   overview page ('projects_list' view), if it exists.  Relative to
-   gitweb.cgi script.  [Default: indextext.html]
- * GITWEB_SITE_HEADER
-   Filename of html text to include at top of each page.  Relative to
-   gitweb.cgi script.  [No default]
- * GITWEB_SITE_FOOTER
-   Filename of html text to include at bottom of each page.  Relative to
-   gitweb.cgi script.  [No default]
- * GITWEB_HOME_LINK_STR
-   String of the home link on top of all pages, leading to $home_link
-   (usually main gitweb page, which means projects list).  Used as first
-   part of gitweb view "breadcrumb trail": <home> / <project> / <view>.
-   [Default: projects]
- * GITWEB_SITENAME
-   Name of your site or organization to appear in page titles.  Set it
-   to something descriptive for clearer bookmarks etc.  If not set
-   (if empty) gitweb uses "$SERVER_NAME Git", or "Untitled Git" if
-   SERVER_NAME CGI environment variable is not set (e.g. if running
-   gitweb as standalone script).  [No default]
- * GITWEB_BASE_URL
-   Git base URLs used for URL to where fetch project from, i.e. full
-   URL is "$git_base_url/$project".  Shown on projects summary page.
-   Repository URL for project can be also configured per repository; this
-   takes precedence over URLs composed from base URL and a project name.
-   Note that you can setup multiple base URLs (for example one for
-   git:// protocol access, another for http:// access) from the gitweb
-   config file.  [No default]
- * GITWEB_CSS
-   Points to the location where you put gitweb.css on your web server
-   (or to be more generic, the URI of gitweb stylesheet).  Relative to the
-   base URI of gitweb.  Note that you can setup multiple stylesheets from
-   the gitweb config file.  [Default: static/gitweb.css (or
-   static/gitweb.min.css if the CSSMIN variable is defined / CSS minifier
-   is used)]
- * GITWEB_LOGO
-   Points to the location where you put git-logo.png on your web server
-   (or to be more generic URI of logo, 72x27 size, displayed in top right
-   corner of each gitweb page, and used as logo for Atom feed).  Relative
-   to base URI of gitweb.  [Default: static/git-logo.png]
- * GITWEB_FAVICON
-   Points to the location where you put git-favicon.png on your web server
-   (or to be more generic URI of favicon, assumed to be image/png type;
-   web browsers that support favicons (website icons) may display them
-   in the browser's URL bar and next to site name in bookmarks).  Relative
-   to base URI of gitweb.  [Default: static/git-favicon.png]
- * GITWEB_JS
-   Points to the location where you put gitweb.js on your web server
-   (or to be more generic URI of JavaScript code used by gitweb).
-   Relative to base URI of gitweb.  [Default: static/gitweb.js (or
-   static/gitweb.min.js if JSMIN build variable is defined / JavaScript
-   minifier is used)]
- * GITWEB_CONFIG
-   This Perl file will be loaded using 'do' and can be used to override any
-   of the options above as well as some other options -- see the "Runtime
-   gitweb configuration" section below, and top of 'gitweb.cgi' for their
-   full list and description.  If the environment variable GITWEB_CONFIG
-   is set when gitweb.cgi is executed, then the file specified in the
-   environment variable will be loaded instead of the file specified
-   when gitweb.cgi was created.  [Default: gitweb_config.perl]
- * GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM
-   This Perl file will be loaded using 'do' as a fallback if GITWEB_CONFIG
-   does not exist.  If the environment variable GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM is set
-   when gitweb.cgi is executed, then the file specified in the environment
-   variable will be loaded instead of the file specified when gitweb.cgi was
-   created.  [Default: /etc/gitweb.conf]+ * HIGHLIGHT_BIN
-   Path to the highlight executable to use (must be the one from
-   http://www.andre-simon.de due to assumptions about parameters and output).
-   Useful if highlight is not installed on your webserver's PATH.
-   [Default: highlight]
