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