   1GIT web interface (gitweb) - JavaScript
   2=======================================
   3
   4This directory holds JavaScript code used by gitweb (GIT web interface).
   5Scripts from there would be concatenated together in the order specified
   6by gitweb/Makefile into gitweb/static/gitweb.js, during building of
   7gitweb/gitweb.cgi (during gitweb building).  The resulting file (or its
   8minification) would then be installed / deployed together with gitweb.
   9
  10Scripts in 'lib/' subdirectory compose generic JavaScript library,
  11providing features required by gitweb but in no way limited to gitweb
  12only.  In the future those scripts could be replaced by some JavaScript
  13library / framework, like e.g. jQuery, YUI, Prototype, MooTools, Dojo,
  14ExtJS, Script.aculo.us or SproutCore.
  15
  16All scripts that manipulate gitweb output should be put outside 'lib/',
  17directly in this directory ('gitweb/static/js/').  Those scripts would
  18have to be rewritten if gitweb moves to using some JavaScript library.
