As I wrote in another email, this isn't necessary, and I don't dig the extra book keeping. The helper script can manage all this using normal environment variables that are inherited. In fact, as I also explained before, instead of positional arguments, everything can be passed in env vars. In fact, quite a few CGIT_* env vars are already defined. _______________________________________________ cgit mailing list [email protected] http://hjemli.net/mailman/listinfo/cgit
