With this patch it is possible to launch git-instaweb by using
Python http.server CGI handler via `-d python` option.
git-instaweb generates a small wrapper around the http.server
(in GIT_DIR/gitweb/) that address a limitation of the CGI handler
where CGI scripts have to be in a cgi-bin subdirectory and
directory index can't be easily changed. To keep the implementation
small, gitweb is running on url `/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi` and an automatic
redirection is done when opening `/`.
The generated wrapper is compatible with both Python 2 and 3.
Python is by default installed on most modern Linux distributions
which enables running `git instaweb -d python` without needing
anything else.

The generated apache2 config fails with apache >= 2.4. The error log
states:
AH00136: Server MUST relinquish startup privileges before accepting
connections. Please ensure mod_unixd or other system security
module is loaded.
AH00016: Configuration Failed
Fix this by loading the unixd module. This works with older httpd as
well, so no IfVersion conditional is needed. (Tested with httpd-2.2.15

Several of the built shell commands invoke a bare "perl" to
perform some one-liners. This will use the first perl in the
PATH rather than the one specified by the user's SHELL_PATH.
We are not asking these perl invocations to do anything
exotic, so typically any old system perl will do; however,
in some cases the system perl may have unexpected behavior
(e.g., by handling line endings differently). We should err
on the side of using the perl the user pointed us to.
The downside of this is that on systems with a sane perl
setup, we no longer find the perl at runtime, but instead
point to a static perl (like /usr/bin/perl). That means we
will not handle somebody moving perl without rebuilding git,
whereas before we tracked it just fine. This is probably not
a big deal, though, as the built perl scripts already
suffered from this.

Currently start/restart does not generate any configuration files for
spawning a new instance. This means that
$ git instaweb --http=<server> --start
might pick up stale 'httpd.conf' file for a different web server
(e.g. for default lighttpd when requesting apache2).
This commit changes that, and makes git-instaweb generate web server
config file and/or gitweb config file if don't exists.
This required naming config files after the name of web server
(alternate solution would be to somehow mark for which web server was
config file generated).
Note that web servers that embed configuration in server script file,
namely webrick and plackup, and which delete "$conf" in their *_conf
function, would have their config (server script) always regenerated.
Note: this commit introduces a bit of code repetition (but only a few
lines).

Since there are WEBrick configuration settings (including the

PSGI is an interface between Perl web applications and web servers, and
Plack is a Perl module and toolkit that contains PSGI middleware, helpers
and adapters to web servers; see http://plackperl.org
PSGI and Plack are inspired by Python's WSGI and Ruby's Rack (and
probably JavaScript's Jack/JSGI).
Plack core distribution includes HTTP::Server::PSGI, a reference PSGI
standalone web server implementation. 'plackup' is a command line
launcher to run PSGI applications from command line, connecting web
app to a web server via Plack::Runner module. By default it uses
HTTP::Server::PSGI as a web server.
git-instaweb generates gitweb.psgi wrapper (in $GIT_DIR/gitweb). This
wrapper uses Plack::App::WrapCGI to compile gitweb.cgi (which is a CGI
script) into a PSGI application using CGI::Compile and CGI::Emulate::PSGI.
git-instaweb then runs this wrapper, using by default HTTP::Server::PSGI
standalone Perl server, via Plack::Runner.
The configuration for 'plackup' is currently embedded in generated
gitweb.psgi wrapper, instead of using httpd.conf ($conf).
To run git-instaweb with '--httpd=plackup', you need to have instaled
Plack core, CGI::Emulate::PSGI, CGI::Compile. Those modules have to be
available for Perl scripts (which can be done for example by setting
PERL5LIB environment variable). This is currently not documented.

Add generic httpd_is_ready subroutine, which busy-waits for web server to

avoid situation where web browser is started before web server is ready to
accept connection, and fails.
It uses IO::Socket::INET module, which is core Perl module since v5.6.0.
Alternate solution, possible for those web servers that can run arbitrary
code hooks after they bind the listen socket (after they start accepting
connections), would be to use some kind of blocking mechanism: FIFO or
lockfile, see
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/147337/focus=147566

Running 'git instaweb' when an instaweb server is already running will
fail (at least when the port is the same) and overwrite the pid file
used to track the currently running server. This turns out to be
especially annoying when the user tries to stop the previously running
server with 'git instaweb --stop' and is instead greeted with an error
message because the pid file has been destroyed.
Instead of allowing a user to start two instaweb servers, stop the
currently running server first and then start the new one. This should
be fine because it was never really possible to start two instaweb
servers in the first place due to the pid file issue outlined above.

If the user has exported the GREP_OPTIONS environment variable, the output
from "grep" and "egrep" in scripted Porcelains may be different from what
they expect. For example, we may want to count number of matching lines,
by "grep" piped to "wc -l", and GREP_OPTIONS=-C3 will break such use.
The approach taken by this change to address this issue is to protect only
our own use of grep/egrep. Because we do not unset it at the beginning of
our scripts, hook scripts run from the scripted Porcelains are exposed to
the same insanity this environment variable causes when grep/egrep is used
to implement logic (e.g. "grep | wc -l"), and it is entirely up to the
hook scripts to protect themselves.
On the other hand, applypatch-msg hook may want to show offending words in
the proposed commit log message using grep to the end user, and the user
might want to set GREP_OPTIONS=--color to paint the match more visibly.
The approach to protect only our own use without unsetting the environment
variable globally will allow this use case.

Add 'blame_incremental' view, which uses "git blame --incremental"
and JavaScript (Ajax), where 'blame' use "git blame --porcelain".
* gitweb generates initial info by putting file contents (from
"git cat-file") together with line numbers in blame table
* then gitweb makes web browser JavaScript engine call startBlame()
function from gitweb.js
* startBlame() opens XMLHttpRequest connection to 'blame_data' view,
which in turn calls "git blame --incremental" for a file, and
streams output of git-blame to JavaScript (gitweb.js)
* XMLHttpRequest event handler updates line info in blame view as soon
as it gets data from 'blame_data' (from server), and it also updates
progress info
* when 'blame_data' ends, and gitweb.js finishes updating line info,
it fixes colors to match (as far as possible) ordinary 'blame' view,
and updates information about how long it took to generate page.
Gitweb deals with streamed 'blame_data' server errors by displaying
them in the progress info area (just in case).
The 'blame_incremental' view tries to be equivalent to 'blame' action;
there are however a few differences in output between 'blame' and
'blame_incremental' view:
* 'blame_incremental' always used query form for this part of link(s)
which is generated by JavaScript code. The difference is visible
if we use path_info link (pass some or all arguments in path_info).
Changing this would require implementing something akin to href()
subroutine from gitweb.perl in JavaScript (in gitweb.js).
* 'blame_incremental' always uses "rowspan" attribute, even if
rowspan="1". This simplifies code, and is not visible to user.
* The progress bar and progress info are still there even after
JavaScript part of 'blame_incremental' finishes work.
Note that currently no link generated by gitweb leads to this new view.
