Note - this is barely (currently) proof-of-concept code and simply does a thru-php proxy of git-http-backend
it is not in the least bit useful for anything, yet.

Git over Web Via PHP is a project to do something i've wanted to have a long time - a web based git remote 
with administration and all git related activities happening over http/https. Git has this now, its called
git-http-backend and its quite broken. If you read its man page it'll tell you this:

	To enable anonymous read access but authenticated write access,
	require authorization with a LocationMatch directive:
	
		<LocationMatch "^/git/.*/git-receive-pack$">
			AuthType Basic
			AuthName "Git Access"
			Require group committers
			...
		</LocationMatch>

This will never work in a month of sundays, but yet its been in the man page and been un-fixed now for a year.
Aside from that though, i wanted an application capable of handling my repo's without having to deal with the
ssh fluff i tend to deal with its annoying when it can be done with user/password auth over https.

Thats what the project is designed to do - give people the ability to administrate a set of a git repo's via
a web interface and have the same web interface for pull and push.

What you will ultimately be able to do is:
1) get list of git repos (with an interface like gitweb)
2) create users and assign permissions into repo's
3) create repos
4) import repos

but most importantly:
git add remote origin https://username@server/git/myrepo.git
git push origin master

Ultimately I want people to be able to install this app, create a directory where it can save its files (db),
create another directory for storing git repos then allow people to login to the web interface and control
everything, for example:
1) create a user and control what they can see
2) allow users to control who can push to their repos
3) control how many repo's a user can create
4) import code into a repo (via git bundle for eg)
5) setup a group heirachy
I think that describes the places i'd like this app to go

How it Works
============
Initially this thing will have a fairly boring interface for creating/contorlling users and repos while
also pushing directly back to git-http-backend AND providing the authentication interface IT needs to function

Gitweb.cgi may also be incorporated as the git view tool - but thats less important at this point and will
probably be just a portion of the php code designed to show something similar to gitweb.cgi with more control
