39cff29f4b Support main branches other than "master"
This patch adds support for having the main branch be named different
than "master".

It will use "master" or "main" if available, and fall back to the first
branch name if they're both missing.

dff4ff6757 css: Work around Pygments' element layout changes
Pygments 2.12 changes the element layout slightly, adding a wrapper
<div> that was accidentally removed before:
https://github.com/pygments/pygments/issues/632.

This patch adds a workaround, so the styling is consistent on both 2.11
and 2.12.

4b1e1eb84c css: Introduce dark mode
This patch extends our CSS to introduce dark mode, so the style shown
matches the user media preference.

It is very analogous to the previous one, only minor adjustments have
been made to make the contrast levels pass the accessibility standards.

No changes have been made to the pygments CSS. It works surprisingly
well as-is, but there are some minor changes that may be needed. Those
will be done in subsequent patches.

This patch memoizes some of the functions to help speed up execution.
The speedup is quite variable, but ~30% is normal when generating a

15547b2796 utils: Update Markdown local links extension to the new API
The Markdown extension for rewriting local links was using an API that

available.

This patch adjusts the code to use the new API which should be available

ad950208bf Auto-format the code with black
This patch applies auto-formatting of the source code using black

This makes the code style more uniform and simplifies editing.

Note I also tried yapf, and IMO produced nicer output and handled some

annotations, which will be introduced in later commits.

So in the future we might switch to yapf instead.

1183d6f817 Move to Python 3
Python 3 was released more than 10 years ago, and support for Python 2
is going away, with many Linux distributions starting to phase it out.

This patch migrates git-arr to Python 3.

The generated output is almost exactly the same, there are some minor
differences such as HTML characters being quoted more aggresively, and
handling of paths with non-utf8 values.

722d765973 markdown: Handle local links
By default, the markdown generator creates links for local files
transparently. For example, "[text](link.md)" will generate
"<a href=link.md>text</a>".

This works fine for absolute and external links, but breaks for links
relative to the repository itself, as git-arr links are of the form
"dir/f=file.ext.html".

So this patch adds a markdown extension to rewrite the links. It uses a
heuristic to detect them, which should work for the vast majority of
common cases.

d7f0e4a265 views: Change the "repository" line into "git clone"
We display the location of the repository, but the entire row is not
convenient for copy-pasting.

This patch changes the wording to "git clone" so the entire row can be
copied and pasted into a terminal.

There's a trick, because if we just changed the wording to:

  <td>git clone</td> <td>https://example.com/repo</td>

that would get copied as:

  git clone\thttps://example.com/repo

which does not work well when pasted into a terminal (as the \t gets
"eaten" in most cases).

So this patch changes the HTML to have a space after "clone":

  <td>git clone </td> <td>https://example.com/repo</td>

and the CSS to preserve the space, so the following gets copied:

  git clone \thttps://example.com/repo

which works when pasting on a terminal.

84d628c690 views/blob: suppress double-slash in page title
For blobs in subdirectories, the page title always includes a double
slash between the final directory component and the filename (for
example, "git >> repo >> branch >> doc//readme.txt"). This is unsightly.

git-arr:blob() ensures that the directory passed to views/blob always
has a trailing slash, so we can drop the slash inserted by views/blob
between the directory and the filename.

As a side-effect, this also changes the page title for blobs in the root
directory. Instead of "git >> repo >> branch >> /readme.txt", the title
becomes "git >> repo >> branch >> readme.txt", which is slightly more
aesthetically pleasing.

5568fd50c2 Repo: retire new_in_branch() and notion of "bound" branch
Binding (or "pegging") a Repo at a particular branch via new_in_branch()
increases the cognitive burden since the reader must maintain a mental
model of which Repo instances are pegged and which are not. This burden
outweighs whatever minor convenience (if any) is gained by pegging the
Repo at a particular branch. It is easier to reason about the code when
the branch name is passed to clients directly rather than indirectly via
a pegged Repo.

Preceding patches retired all callers of new_in_branch(), therefore
remove it.

46640c68b9 views: blob: render empty blobs specially
Empty (zero-length) blobs are currently rendered by 'pygments'
misleadingly as a single empty line, or, when 'pygments' is unavailable,
as "nothingness" preceding a horizontal rule. In either case, it is
somewhat difficult to glean concrete information about the blob.

Address this by instead rendering summary information about the blob: in
particular, its classification ("empty") and its size ("0 bytes"). This
is analogous to the summary information rendered for binary blobs
("binary" and size).

c91beccdb0 blob: cap amount of rendered binary blob content
Although hexdump(1)-style rendering of binary blob content may reveal
some meaningful information about the data, it wastes even more storage
space than embedding the raw data itself. However, many binary files
have a "magic number" or other signature near the beginning of the file,
so it is often possible to glean useful information from just the
initial chunk of the file without having the entire content available.

Thus, limiting the rendered data to just an initial chunk saves storage
space while still potentially presenting useful information about the
binary content.

6f3942ce38 blob: render hexdump(1)-style binary blob content
Raw binary blob content tends to look like "line noise" and is rarely,
if ever, meaningful. A hexdump(1)-style rendering (specifically,
"hexdump -C"), on the other hand, showing runs of hexadecimal byte
values along with an ASCII representation of those bytes can sometimes
reveal useful information about the data.

(A subsequent patch will add the ability to cap the amount of data
rendered in order to reduce storage space requirements.)

09c2f33f5a blob: render binary blob summary information rather than raw content
Binary blobs are currently rendered as raw data directly into the HTML
output, looking much like "line noise". This is rarely, if ever,
meaningful, and consumes considerable storage space since the entire raw
blob content is embedded in the generated HTML file.

Address this issue by instead emitting summary information about the
blob, such as its classification ("binary") and its size. Other
information can be added as needed.

As in Git itself, a blob is considered binary if a NUL is present in the
first ~8KB.

58037e57c5 Repo.blob: respect reported blob size
Batch output of git-cat-file has the form:

    <sha1> SP <type> SP <size> LF <contents> LF

It unconditionally includes a trailing line-feed which Repo.blob()
incorrectly returns as part of blob content. For textual blobs, this
extra character is often benign, however, for binary blobs, it can
easily change the meaning of the data in unexpected or disastrous ways.
Fix this by respecting the blob size reported by git-cat-file.

(The alternate approach of unconditionally dropping the final LF also
works, however, respecting the reported size is perhaps a bit more
robust and "correct".)

content, however, the 'blob' view is unconditionally handed cooked

The ultimate goal is to eliminate the wasteful blob reloading when raw

returned by Repo.blob() rather than the cooked content. A subsequent
change will flesh out Blob, allowing it to return raw or cooked content
on demand without the client having to specify one or the other when
invoking Repo.blob().
