Package: gitosis
Version: 0.2+20090917-10
Severity: normal
Consider the following snippet of gitosis.conf:
[repo foo]
owner = Me
description = foo
gitweb = yes
[repo foo/bar]
owner = Me
description = foobar
gitweb = yes
I now commit to these two repositories:
mkdir ~/bar
cd ~/bar
git init
git romote add origin gito...@host:foo/bar.git
touch FOOBAR
git add FOOBAR
git commit
git push origin master
mkdir ~/foo
cd ~/foo
git init
git romote add origin gito...@host:foo.git
touch FOO
git add FOO
git commit
git push origin master
If I now inspect /srv/gitosis, I'll see these files:
/srv/gitosis/repositories/foo.git/description
/srv/gitosis/repositories/foo/description
/srv/gitosis/repositories/foo/bar.git/description
So the gitweb description file gets written to both 'foo.git' and 'foo',
the former being wrong. Also if we inspect
/srv/gitosis/gitosis/projects.list, we'll see this:
foo Me
foo%2Fbar.git Me
In other words, gitosis has picked up 'foo' as a repository *instead* of
(the correct) 'foo.git'. This causes this repository to be absent from
gitweb ('foo' doesn't show up either, since it's not a valid
repository).
Looking at the code at /usr/share/pyshared/gitosis/gitweb.py, lines 77-84,
we see this:
if not os.path.exists(os.path.join(repositories, name)):
namedotgit = '%s.git' % name
if os.path.exists(os.path.join(repositories, namedotgit)):
name = namedotgit
else:
log.warning(
'Cannot find %(name)r in %(repositories)r'
% dict(name=name, repositories=repositories))
It appears from this code, that gitosis will pick any repository without
the .git suffix over any with it, and I believe this is the reason why
'foo' is picked up incorrectly.
