Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] Migration of GNU Savannah Web-pages from CVS to GIT

Hello Karl,

Thank you for giving it a try!

I think I've fixed the issues you've mentioned.
Please give it another try... the setup needs as much testing as possible.

Details below:

Done.
I removed the links to cgit/gitweb repositories list.
Instead, this static page is generated with a script (not yet in cron, but 
soon):

http://web.git.savannah.gnu.org/project-list/

I believe this is only used by people who are behind a firewall, and can not 
access the git-daemon on TCP port 9418.
There is indeed no reason to view it in a browser.

Oops.
I did do some experiments on few repositories.
I've new reset them to the same state as the CVS.

My bad.
This should work now.
Please tell me if it doesn't.

Some repositories had extranous configuration option "logallrefupdates=true",
and writing to the log directory failed (at least it seems I've set the 
permissions correctly :) )

The git hooks I've setup only trigger an update after successful commit (and 
yours failed, as above).
I hope you'll be able to push changes now, and then the updates will appear in 
the 'updates' list.

Thanks!
