Hi Andy,
I'm happy to engage technically here in order to find the best way of
going about this. However,
Nobody is paying me to do it and I don't have an endless budget of time
to lavish on it (and it seems, neither do you...).
If cgit can't do what I need in a reasonable timescale, even with my
contribution, my choices are:

the way forward is to align, or align and improve... IMHO.
I don't see the relevance of whether or not you're paid and how much
time you have to implement things, or what predictions are about sink
or swim with regards to Github.
Mmm I could tell from your reply it's irrelevant to you.
That's why I pointed it out, because it's very relevant to me and will
inform what I choose to do.
I think the general ideas you've presented in these patchsets are good
ones, and now it's time to collaborate on the best way to go about
doing it. Part of what we're encountering here is the fact that cgit
hasn't originally had a robust display/hosting intent; it was mostly
around showing the state of the git repository. Now we're trying to
grow beyond that. Hence, I'd like to organize this in a sensible way
so that such rendering capabilities are available at the heart of
cgit, rather than haphazardly added on with a smattering of
It's not that I don't understand the reasoning. There is a lot of cruft
because the project has been around a long while. But it's not my cruft.
contradictory configuration switches. In spite of your pay grade, your
time budget, or your timescale, I'm going to make sure this gets done
in the right way.
I also run a FOSS project that has been around for years and have dealt
with hundreds of contributions.
These features have been around for 10 years in github and still not in
cgit, done right or wrong. I think everyone will be better off if we
can find a way.
