For example, on a FreeBSD system Python can be installed in
/usr/local/bin/python.
Some systems have multiple interpreters installed in a variety of
locations. The attached patch corrects the problem by using the
env(1) command to run Python.

The base name of the returned absolute path is also the name of the
repository from which the statistics were gathered. We will use this in
the generated reports.
The supported protocols are file://, git://, http://, https:// and ssh://.
Whenever one of the above prefixes are detected in the repository name,
"git clone" is used to clone the repository into a temporary directory.
When "git clone" is called, it's output is redirected to stderr; meaning
that redirection of stdout to a file functions just as before.
If "git clone" fails for some reason, gitinspector will exit; returning
the error code from the "git clone" command.
This is flag should not be needed anymore, as gitinspector always uses
a reference point such as HEAD or some reivision when looking into the
repository (never the file structure directly).
This is unnecessary as there is a get() function inside the changes module
to fetch an object of this class, so we can fetch this directly in
BlameOutput.__init__().
The error message when using an incompatible version of
Python contains a typo.

References to gravatar images are generated with HTML and XML outputs only
as these are the only formats where referencing gravatars makes sense
right now. The HTMLEmbedded format, for example, does not link to any
gravatars as that format prohibits the use of external links.
To accommodate the new images; the width of the generated HTML page has
been slightly increased. However, the HTML page should still fit on a
1280 display.
This is a better solution than simply relying on ValueError and also
helps us to maintain compatibility with all our other exceptions (it gives
us a msg attribute that we can access when catching the error).
Also localized the string for InvalidRegExpError.
This was fixed by storing the exception string manually inside each
exception class. The error message is now stored in exception.msg instead
of relying on __str__(). It seems the normal behavior (by printing exceptions
directly) is broken in Python 2. It *does* work in Python 3, but this is
because it always handles everything as unicode.
The support for optional boolean arguments is the same; but uses
getopt instead of optparse.
The whole adventure with optparse was a giant waste of time and just
forced us to monkey-patch optparse with some very ugly solutions in order
to make it do what we wanted; thus it was better to switch back to the
more low-level getopt module.
To accomplish this; a optval.gnu_getopt() function was added that is a
duplicate of the original getopt.gnu_getopt function but with support for
optional arguments.
A long option which accepts an optional argument is denoted with
arg:default_value in the long_options string.
In the end, this solution feels much better than the one with optparse.
If gitinspector was not executed standing in the root directory of the
git repository (or with a git root specified at the command line),
"git ls-tree" would not find all files properly.
The default behaviour is now not to localize the output, only the help
text and error messages (all the user interaction).
The way localized messages are fetched in the modules has been modified
as well; to allow for the ability to enable and disable the localization.
Just like in many GNU tools, it is now possible to pass an optional
boolean to some of the flags of gitinspector in the form;
--flag[=BOOL]
This gives us the ability to override options set via git-config.
For example; say we did the following:
git-config --global inspector.timeline true
We could then override this setting when running gitinspector by supplying:
./gitinspector.py --timeline=false
Implementing this was not a trivial task, as no command-line parser in
Python supports this by default (getopt, optparse, argparse). In order to
properly handle optional boolean arguments; some clever patching had to
be done to the command-line in combination with a callback function that
can handle boolean strings. To maintain compatibility with Python 2.6,
this was implemented using optparse (instead of argparse).
All long options that can be set in gitinspector (with the exception of
--version and --help) can be configured using git-config. This is only the
first step towards the support of git-config. The reading of the command
line also needs to be changed to support overriding settings from
git-config before this is fully usable. Also; support for --exclude is
not yet included.
If we wanted to enable the timeline across all repositories when running
gitinspector we could do;
git-config --global inspector.timeline true
For local settings (per repository); the --local option can of course be
used when calling git-config.
The gettext.install() functions supplies a way to force it to return
unicode which helps with compatibility between Python 2 & 3. To make it
work properly when merging those returned string with strings in the
different modules of gitinspector we also had to do some changes to make
sure all string literals are in unicode.
This particular setup script has been tested with Distribute 0.6.24.
For some strange reason, the generated entry-point script does not work
with Python 3.3 - resulting in import errors. I can only assume this is
a bug in this version of the Distribute package when it's running together
with Python 3.3.
