+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:
-
-
- AuthType Basic
- AuthName "Git Access"
- Require group committers
- ...

-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
-and besides that i've decided i want a web based one. Im sick of git over ssh with ssh keys, its annoying
-when it can be done with user/password auth over https.

+Aside from that though, i wanted an application capable of handling my repo's without having to deal with the

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.

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

+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

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

+probably be just a portion of the php code designed to show something similar to gitweb.cgi with more control
