An example configuration for nginx and fcgiwrap can be found in the INSTALL instructions in the top-level directory. + +Further Configuration +--------------------- + +When using Git namespaces, Git advertises refs outside the current namespace as +so-called "have" lines. This is normally used to reduce traffic but it has the +opposite effect in the case of aurweb: Many essentially useless lines are +transferred to the Git client during `git push` operations. + +In order to omit these advertisements, add the strings "^refs/" and "!refs/" to +the transfer.hideRefs configuration setting. Note that the order of these +patterns is important ("^refs/" must come first) and that Git 2.7 or newer is +required for them to work. |
