  16 A simple script to setup gitweb and a web server for browsing the local
  17 repository.
  18
  19 OPTIONS
  20 -------
  21
  22 -l|--local::
  23         Only bind the web server to the local IP (127.0.0.1).
  24
  25 -d|--httpd::
  26         The HTTP daemon command-line that will be executed.
  27         Command-line options may be specified here, and the
  28         configuration file will be added at the end of the command-line.
  29         Currently, lighttpd and apache2 are the only supported servers.
  30         (Default: lighttpd)
  31
  32 -m|--module-path::
  33         The module path (only needed if httpd is Apache).
  34         (Default: /usr/lib/apache2/modules)
  35
  36 -p|--port::
  37         The port number to bind the httpd to.  (Default: 1234)
  38
  39 -b|--browser::
  40
  41         The web browser command-line to execute to view the gitweb page.
  42         If blank, the URL of the gitweb instance will be printed to
  43         stdout.  (Default: 'firefox')
  44
  45 --start::
  46         Start the httpd instance and exit.  This does not generate
  47         any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
  48
  49 --stop::
  50         Stop the httpd instance and exit.  This does not generate
  51         any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance,
  52         nor does it close the browser.
  53
  54 --restart::
  55         Restart the httpd instance and exit.  This does not generate
  56         any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
