Redmine

I'm aware that it was designed for svn, but but the svn dav is also just plain webdav, which git uses for access to http/s repositories. I even use the Redmine.pm to authenticate access to folders on another vhost (think a sandbox for webapps being managed with redmine). I just think that extending the scope of the module to also work with git shouldn't be much trouble, but I've never been into perl, and I have no idea how to debug this. A pointer to debugging perl apache modules would make me happy, so I can try to patch it myself.

Hi,

Yes, I had some success with Redmine.pm for git authentication. I tried on ubuntu 9.04 with standard apache, webdav, modperl and a fresh redmine trunk.

% sudo ruby ~/travail/rails/redmine-trunk/extra/svn/reposman.rb --redmine localhost:3000 --svn-dir /var/git --owner www-data  --verbose  --scm git -f
