Subject: [PATCH (amend)] gitweb: Check if requested object exists

From: Jakub Narebski <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 12 May 2007 21:16:34 +0200

Try to avoid "Use of uninitialized value ..." errors caused by bad
revision, incorrect filename, wrong object id, bad file etc. (wrong
value of 'h', 'hb', 'f', etc. parameters). This avoids polluting web
server errors log.

Correct git_get_hash_by_path and parse_commit_text (and, in turn,
parse_commit) to return undef if object does not exist.  Check in
git_tag if requested tag exists.

This patch is replacement of earlier "bandaid" patch

  [PATCH] gitweb: Avoid "Use of uninitialized value" errors (written to logs)
  Message-Id: <[email-masked]>

This one tries to cure causes, not put bandaid over symptoms.
It also passes my gitweb test.

One thing that is left is to fix "Use of initialized value..." warnings
for empty repositories (initialized, but without any commits). But I
don't think that this corner case is terribly important.
