Description-en: fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (web interface)
Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large
projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile
open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
.
Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools.
Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full
revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a
central server.
.
This package configures a web interface for browsing git repositories.
.
If apache2 is installed, the web interface is automatically made
available at http://localhost/gitweb. Other servers that support CGI
or mod_perl are supported through manual configuration.
.
If libcgi-fast-perl is installed, gitweb can also be run over FastCGI
(and served by nginx, for example).
