The use case scenario is doable with Apache's vhost directives, and is likely a much better way to accomplish this then trying to teach gitweb about vhosting. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/mass.html should give some hints on how this can be done, but the long and the short is, single install of gitweb with the config file using, say %0, to dynamically figure out which domain to work from. - John -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
