Thread: gitweb tab width
Is there some way to convince gitweb that a tab goes to the next four character boundary rather than eight? (This seems to affect raw, blob, and diff displays.) -Kevin

At a first look, it seems not easily. It has:
sub untabify { my $line = shift;
while ((my $pos = index($line, "\t")) != -1) { if (my $count = (8 - ($pos % 8))) {
my $spaces = ' ' x $count; $line =~ s/\t/$spaces/; } }
return $line;
}
Which can do it, but if that's what's used, it'll have an effect on
all the other repositories on the server as well. You'd want it to be
configurable on a per-repository basis.
Now, gitweb is also "just a perlscript", so it can probably be adapted
to read that from the config file :-)

Is that as a matter of principle or are there actually repositories on http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb which use a tab width other than four characters? -Kevin

I think it's mostly a matter of not knowing :-) If we *know* all other projects on git.postgresql.org are happy with 4-space tabs, we can change it (and then forget it every time we upgrade the system). But someone would have to do inventory of all that's there before we change it... -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

Since the most important project there uses 4-spaces tabs, and a lot of the other projects are clones of that one, I think we should err in the other direction. -- Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@commandprompt.com> The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.

Turns out it was a trivial patch to gitweb to allow a per-repository configuration of this. So I've patched the gitweb we're running on git.postgresql.org to do this, and will submit that patch upstream. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

So how do I configure the users/kgrittn/postgres.git repository to a four character tab width? I logged in to gitweb and went to the administration page for the repo, but didn't see any option there.... -Kevin

Meh, didn't think of that. I've just modified it manually for your repo. I wonder if I should add a checkbox to the admin interface for it.. I doubt we need to support anything other than 4 and 8, right? -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

If a checkbox or a number with a range limit (maybe 2 to 8) are equal in difficulty, I'd go with the number. -Kevin

Hey, look, I found a really old email :-) I've added this to the git admin interface, and it's now possible to set the width to anything you want in the admin page - normally you'd pick 4 or 8 :-) Better late than never, I hope... -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
