Snapshot: Customize filename and remove obligatory folder

Snapshot: Customize filename and remove obligatory folder

[alexander.nitsche]

It would be nice to be able to

a) customize the automatically generated snapshot filename. In general
it is {repository_name}-{branch}.zip. I - for integrity reasons - need
to be able to say that the filename should be {filename_xy}.zip without
the branch and a different name than the repo name. In my particular
case this is for constraints of the CMS system Typo3.

b) remove the obligatory parent folder from the snapshot: e.g. if the
tree structure of the git project "my_typo3_extension" is
---
/classes/
/resources/
/configuration/
ext_emconf.php
ext_tables.php
..
---
then the snapshot zip file looks like
---
/my_typo3_extension
  /classes/
  /resources/
  /configuration/
  ext_emconf.php
  ext_tables.php
  ..
---
but i need the snapshot to be without the parent folder
"my_typo3_extension" - for Typo3 constraints again.

Is there currently a way to do these customizations in cgit?

Thanks,
Alex

You should be able to achieve this by telling your web server to
redirect the URI to the path that cgit uses.

I don't think this is currently possible but patching cgit to support
that should be fairly easy. Have a look at the prefix variable/parameter
in ui-snapshot.c.
