cgit: Fix guessing default branch

2026-05-21T13:31:21Z

Even when HEAD is set to "main" in a repository, cgit still uses the "master" branch to detect the age of the last commit. Example: $ cat repositories/openwrt/openwrt.git/HEAD ref: refs/heads/main $ stat repositories/openwrt/openwrt.git/refs/heads/master Modify: 2024-02-22 23:00:01.285731731 +0000 $ stat repositories/openwrt/openwrt.git/refs/heads/main Modify: 2026-02-27 15:33:49.506017172 +0000 In this situation, cgit displays "25 months" for this repository on the index page. I guess the internal format for HEAD has changed at some point, so it needs to be taken into account when parsing it in cgit. Signed-off-by: Baptiste Jonglez

ui-shared: add "this commit" option to switch form

2026-05-21T13:27:10Z

Branches are grouped into their own section to make the "this commit" option visually distinct. Adding this option will result in two options being marked as selected if a branch has the same name as a commit oid. But that would cause all sorts of other problems anyway (attempting to switch to the branch would actually give you the commit, etc.), so let's not worry about that. A "permalink" link on the blob view next to the "plain" link would probably be more discoverable, but that would only work for the blob view. The switch UI is visible everywhere.

Our generation of HTML triggers many small write(2) syscalls which is inefficient. Time output on a horrible query against my git.git mirror shows significant performance improvement: QUERY_STRING='id=2b93bfac0f5bcabbf60f174f4e7bfa9e318e64d5&id2=d6da71a9d16b8cf27f9d8f90692d3625c849cbc8' PATH_INFO=/mirrors/git.git/diff export QUERY_STRING PATH_INFO time ./cgit >/dev/null Before: real 0m1.585s user 0m0.904s sys 0m0.658s After: real 0m0.750s user 0m0.666s sys 0m0.076s Signed-off-by: Eric Wong Signed-off-by: Alyssa Ross

ui-log: improve decoration display for browsers without CSS

2026-05-21T13:26:55Z

Text-based browsers without CSS support show all the decorations bunched together without spacing. Rely on a whitespace instead of CSS support.

The existence of a detailed commit message may be of interst even if only the subject is shown by default. Signed-off-by: Christian Hesse
