Bug#619617: gitweb: 1:1.7.4.1-5
Package: gitweb Version: gitweb produces invalid XHTML Severity: important It seems that to web browsers that support it, gitweb will serve an XHTML version of the interface. The currently served version includes the entity nbsp; which is invalid in XHTML. In the version of Firefox in Ubuntu, but possible other browsers/OSes, this will cause a complete refusal to render the page. This makes gitweb entirely unusable from these systems (which is why I marked the bug as important). I suspect this coincided with the migration of 1:1.7.4.1-3 into testing, as I did not see this issue until very recently.

Actually, nbsp; is totally valid XHTML: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#a_dtd_Latin-1_characters Firefox _only_ has a problem with it if you’ve just updated Firefox without restarting it. The problem will go away when you restart Firefox. This also explains why you haven’t seen the issue until recently, even though Gitweb has generated nbsp; over XHTML since the ancient days (v1.4.2-rc1~35).
