I notice you don't yet support smart http(s).

I wrote (well, update/adapted actually) a plugin for Redmine which allows hosting of git repositories (https://github.com/ericpaulbishop/redmine_git_hosting) and I integrated Scott Chacon's "grack" code so that it will support smart http out of the box.

If you're interested this feature it may be helfpul to check out the code in app/controllers/git_http_controller.rb in my plugin. Note that the rails user needs to have access to the git repo directory for this code to work. I handle this issue using a sudo configuration, which is an extra setup step for users, and requres them to have admin priviledges. You may want to handle this differently.


I don't think "self-hosted" means what you think it does, given that the "Source" tab links to https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq


He has to continue using Github to know what is missing from his clone :)


Emm, they mean that YOU can self host it.


I got a 500 error after trying to log into the demo account http://demo.gitlabhq.com/users/sign_in


Yay! I think I'll use this for my private repositories..


This is great... I can't wait to start playing with it.


they should remove the login requirement to browse. I think that would make it easier to tell how this thing works.


This is very cool
