Roadmap

This is not exactly a formal roadmap but it is a priority list of what might be implemented in future releases.
This list is volatile.

TODO (high priority)

  • Eclipse: create plugin to enumerate repositories and delegate cloning to EGit
  • Manager: support federation RPCs
  • Manager: redesign ref indicators in log, search, and activity views to support multiple local branches, remote branches, and tags
  • Gitblit: Lucene integration with multi-repository search (issue-16)
  • Gitblit: Serve repositories on root URL rather than /git (investigate JGit 1.2 GitFilter)

TODO (medium priority)

  • Gitblit: editable settings page in GO/WAR
  • Gitblit: investigate create-repository-on-push.
    • Maybe a new user role to allow this?
    • Maybe a server setting to disable this completely?
    • Pusher/Creator becomes repository owner and can then manipulate access lists, etc?
  • Gitblit: Clone Repository feature (issue-5)
    • optional scheduled pulls
    • optional automatic push to origin/remotes?
    • optional manual push to origin/remotes?
  • Gitblit: Repository regex substitutions should be stored in .git/.config, not gitblit.properties
  • Gitblit: Consider allowing git:// protocol using JGit
    • new setting git.allowGitProtocol to enable/disable git:// protocol
    • unrestricted repositories would have anonymous RW git:// access
    • push-restricted repositories would have anonymous R git:// access
    • clone-restricted repositories would prohibit git:// access
    • view-restricted repositories would prohibit git:// access

IDEAS

  • Gitblit: Re-use the EGit branch visualization table cell renderer as some sort of servlet
  • Gitblit: Support personal repositories (~username/repo)
  • Gitblit: diff should highlight inserted/removed fragment compared to original line
  • Gitblit: implement branch permission controls as Groovy pre-receive script.
    Maintain permissions text file similar to a gitolite configuration file or svn authz file.
  • Gitblit: consider user-subscribed email notifications for a repository branch.
  • Gitblit: aggregate RSS feeds by tag or subfolder
  • Gitblit: Consider creating more Git model objects and exposing them via the JSON RPC interface to allow inspection/retrieval of Git commits, Git trees, etc from Gitblit.
  • Gitblit: Blame coloring by author (issue-2)
  • Gitblit: View binary files in blob page (issue-6)
  • Gitblit: Stronger ticgit integration (issue-8)
