From 17a8b25005bb09b03bee7ddac5412c7d29675eef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gerrit Pape Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2008 18:11:19 +0000 Subject: gitweb: fallback to system-wide config file if default config does not exist From a distribution point of view, configuration files for applications should reside in /etc/. On the other hand it's convenient for multiple instances of gitweb (e.g. virtual web servers on a single machine) to have a per-instance configuration file, just as gitweb currently supports through the file gitweb_config.perl next to the cgi. To support both at runtime, this commit introduces GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM as a system-wide configuration file which will be used as a fallback if the config file sprecified throug GITWEB_CONFIG does not exist.
