Make HEAD cheaper for RepositoryIndex

On HEAD requests avoid doing any log processing or content generation
and just issue back 200 OK.  This allows clients to use HEAD to probe
for existance of a repository and get back 200 OK from the servlet or
404 Not Found from the higher level resolving filter.

Provide the same in HostIndexServlet to look for subdirectories of
repositories.  If there are no repositories with that prefix return
404 Not Found.

Gitiles - A simple JGit repository browser

Gitiles is a simple repository browser for Git repositories, built on JGit. Its guiding principle is simplicity: it has no formal access controls, no write access, no fancy Javascript, etc.

Building

Gitiles requires Buck to build.

  sudo apt-get install ant
  cd ${HOME}
  git clone https://github.com/facebook/buck.git
  cd buck
  ant
  sudo ln -s ${PWD}/bin/buck /usr/bin/buck
  cd /path/to/gitiles
  git submodule update --init
  buck build all
  buck test

Testing

  cd /path/to/repositories  # Don't run from the gitiles repo.
  /path/to/gitiles/tools/run_dev.sh

This will recompile and start a development server. Open http://localhost:8080/ to view your local copy of gitiles, which will serve any repositories under /path/to/repositories.

To run unit tests, run buck test.

Eclipse IDE

If you'd like to use Eclipse to edit Gitiles, first generate a project file:

  ./bucklets/tools/eclipse.py --src

Import the project in Eclipse:

  File -> Import -> Existing Projects into Workpace

The project only needs to be rebuilt if the source roots or third-party libraries have changed. For best results, ensure the project is closed in Eclipse before rebuilding.

Code Style

Java code in Gitiles follows the [Google Java Style Guide] (https://google.github.io/styleguide/javaguide.html) with a 100-column limit.

CSS in Gitiles follows the [SUIT CSS naming conventions] (https://github.com/suitcss/suit/blob/master/doc/naming-conventions.md).

Code Review

Gitiles uses Gerrit for code review: https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/

Gitiles uses the “git push” workflow with server https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gitiles. You will need a generated cookie.

Gerrit depends on “Change-Id” annotations in your commit message. If you try to push a commit without one, it will explain how to install the proper git-hook:

curl -Lo `git rev-parse --git-dir`/hooks/commit-msg \
    https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/tools/hooks/commit-msg
chmod +x `git rev-parse --git-dir`/hooks/commit-msg

Before you create your local commit (which you'll push to Gerrit) you will need to set your email to match your Gerrit account:

git config --local --add user.email foo@bar.com

Normally you will create code reviews by pushing for master:

git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master
