git: more elegant handling of installed pre/post-receive hook failing on direct repo access
The hook would fail with a long backtrace when get_hook_environment raise an error exception.
Instead, as first thing in the entry point from the hook, catch that situation
and report it nicely before "quietly" skipping the hook:
[mk@here myrepo]$ git push
Enumerating objects: 3, done.
Counting objects: 100% (3/3), done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 204 bytes | 204.00 KiB/s, done.
Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
remote: Skipping Kallithea Git post-recieve hook 'hooks/post-receive'.
remote: Git was apparently not invoked by Kallithea: Environment variable KALLITHEA_EXTRAS not found
To /tmp/somerepo
* [new branch] master -> master
[mk@here myrepo]$
We could be paranoid and let it (and the pre hook) fail ... but that doesn't
seem helpful.

=============================
Version control systems setup
=============================
Kallithea supports Git and Mercurial repositories out-of-the-box.
For Git, you do need the ``git`` command line client installed on the server.
You can always disable Git or Mercurial support by editing the
file ``kallithea/__init__.py`` and commenting out the backend. For example, to
disable Git but keep Mercurial enabled:
.. code-block:: python
BACKENDS = {
'hg': 'Mercurial repository',
#'git': 'Git repository',
}
Git-specific setup
------------------
Web server with chunked encoding
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Large Git pushes require an HTTP server with support for
chunked encoding for POST. The Python web servers waitress_ and
gunicorn_ (Linux only) can be used. By default, Kallithea uses
waitress_ for `gearbox serve` instead of the built-in `paste` WSGI
server.
The web server used by gearbox is controlled in the .ini file::
use = egg:waitress#main
or::
use = egg:gunicorn#main
Also make sure to comment out the following options::
threadpool_workers =
threadpool_max_requests =
use_threadpool =
Increasing Git HTTP POST buffer size
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If Git pushes fail with HTTP error code 411 (Length Required), you may need to
increase the Git HTTP POST buffer. Run the following command as the user that
runs Kallithea to set a global Git variable to this effect::
git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000
.. _waitress: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/waitress
.. _gunicorn: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/gunicorn
.. _subrepositories: http://mercurial.aragost.com/kick-start/en/subrepositories/
