I look at it roughly the same. The cgit over gitweb speed improvement is typically 20x in my experience, which is really good and calls for using cgit, but we would have to worry about checking buffer overflows and the like, especially since cgit isn't widely spread yet, so dunno. Personally, I think the web interfaces to git repos are not so terribly important things, since we have all the repo history and past commits available locally on our laptops at our fingertips. So for development purposes we use anyway some cool tool like `magit' or `tig' which easily outperforms any web interface there may be. The web interface is useful mostly to point to some particular commits in email discussions and the like. > Personally, I would love to have something like this: > > http://repo.or.cz/git-browser/by-commit.html?r=cds-indico.git Being a command line lover I am using the following alias: $ cat ~/.gitconfig [alias] k = log --graph --decorate --pretty=format:'%C(blue)%d%Creset %C(yellow)%h%Creset %s, %C(bold green)%an%Creset, %C(green)%cd%Creset' --date=relative which produces the following kind of output: $ git k * (HEAD, origin/master, origin/HEAD, master) e7c5f3c Merge branch 'jmartinm/batchuploader-improvements', Tibor Simko, 28 minutes ago |\ | * dc2418c BibUpload: Use locale error msgs in batchuploader, Javier Martin, 25 hours ago | * f25cd91 BibUpload: Use hashlib module if possible, Javier Martin, 25 hours ago | * 36cbfdd BibUpload: Check user rights on BatchUploader, Javier Martin, 25 hours ago | * 42f1307 BibUpload: prettify user messages in batchuploader, Javier Martin, 25 hours ago * | e9bc8db BibSched: fix bibtask global variable init, Benoit Thiell, 41 minutes ago * | 01f0295 WebSubmit: fix OpenOffice tmpdir test, Samuele Kaplun, 84 minutes ago * | 4dcda2c Merge branch 'maint', Tibor Simko, 3 hours ago |\ \ | * | (origin/maint, maint) 66cbc7f WebAccess: fix authaction parameter parsing, Samuele Kaplun, 3 hours ago * | | e2feb8f BibIndex: raise meaningful exceptions, Benoit Thiell, 7 hours ago * | | 654c1f1 BibEdit: multi editor UI and functionality changes, Javier Martin, 25 hours ago | |/ |/| * | 372bfd0 BibIndex: fix remote full-text file indexing, Samuele Kaplun, 26 hours ago * | c363868 WebSubmit: extended Stamp_Replace_Single_File_Approval, Jerome Caffaro, 31 hours ago * | dc6e4f1 WebSubmit: new option `layer' for stamping tool, Jerome Caffaro, 31 hours ago [...] which is quite similar to the output of the web page you pointed to.
