middleware: move handling of permanent repo URLs to separate middleware
This is about the handling of repo URLs like '_123' for the repo with repo_id
123. The de-mangling of such URLs was spread out across multiple layers. It
fits much more nicely as a middleware layer. The code in routing and simplehg /
simplegit can thus be removed.
The base _get_by_id function was confusing - fix it by removing it. To do that,
refactor utils introducing fix_repo_id_name to replace get_repo_by_id.
We now assume in the application that we never have any extra leading '/' in
URL paths.
And while trailing extra '/' might be fine in actual URLs, they must be handled
at the routing level, not propagated through all layers. This changeset is not
really changing that.

=============
Customization
=============
There are several ways to customize Kallithea to your needs depending on what
you want to achieve.
HTML/JavaScript/CSS customization
---------------------------------
To customize the look-and-feel of the web interface (for example to add a
company banner or some JavaScript widget or to tweak the CSS style definitions)
you can enter HTML code (possibly with JavaScript and/or CSS) directly via the
*Admin > Settings > Global > HTML/JavaScript customization
block*.
Style sheet customization with Less
-----------------------------------
Kallithea uses `Bootstrap 3`_ and Less_ for its style definitions. If you want
to make some customizations, we recommend to do so by creating a ``theme.less``
file. When you create a file named ``theme.less`` in the Kallithea root
directory, you can use this file to override the default style. For example,
you can use this to override ``@kallithea-theme-main-color``,
``@kallithea-logo-url`` or other `Bootstrap variables`_.
After creating the ``theme.less`` file, you need to regenerate the CSS files, by
running::
kallithea-cli front-end-build --no-install-deps
.. _bootstrap 3: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/
.. _bootstrap variables: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/customize/#less-variables
.. _less: http://lesscss.org/
Behavioral customization: rcextensions
--------------------------------------
Some behavioral customization can be done in Python using ``rcextensions``, a
custom Python package that can extend Kallithea functionality.
With ``rcextensions`` it's possible to add additional mappings for Whoosh
indexing and statistics, to add additional code into the push/pull/create/delete
repository hooks (for example to send signals to build bots such as Jenkins) and
even to monkey-patch certain parts of the Kallithea source code (for example
overwrite an entire function, change a global variable, ...).
To generate a skeleton extensions package, run::
kallithea-cli extensions-create -c my.ini
This will create an ``rcextensions`` package next to the specified ``ini`` file.
See the ``__init__.py`` file inside the generated ``rcextensions`` package
for more details.
Behavioral customization: code changes
--------------------------------------
As Kallithea is open-source software, you can make any changes you like directly
in the source code.
We encourage you to send generic improvements back to the
community so that Kallithea can become better. See :ref:`contributing` for more
details.
