gitweb: allow configurations that change with each request

jrn · gitster · commit 7f425db9146b · 2010-08-02T11:47:07.000-07:00
gitolite's contrib/gitweb/gitweb.conf includes: $ENV{GL_USER} = $cgi->remote_user || "gitweb"; which is useful for setups where a user has to be authenticated to access certain repos. Perhaps other typical configurations change per session in other ways, too. v1.7.2-rc2~6 (gitweb: Move evaluate_gitweb_config out of run_request, 2010-07-05) broke such configurations for a speedup, by loading the configuration once per FastCGI process. Probably in the end there should be a way to specify in the configuration whether a particular installation wants the speedup or the flexibility. But for now it is easier to just undo the relevant change. This partially reverts commit 869d588.
