follow Python conventions for boolean values

True and False might be singletons and the "default" values for "boolean"
expressions, but "all" values in Python has a boolean value and should be
evaluated as such. Checking with 'is True' and 'is False' is thus confusing,
error prone and unnessarily complex.

If we anywhere rely and nullable boolean fields from the database layer and
don't want the null value to be treated as False then we should check
explicitly for null with 'is None'.

.. _git_support:

===========
GIT support
===========


Git support in RhodeCode 1.3 was enabled by default. You need to have a git
client installed on the machine to make git fully work.

Although There is one limitation on git usage.

- large pushes requires a http server with chunked encoding support.

if you plan to use git you need to run RhodeCode with some
http server that supports chunked encoding which git http protocol uses,
i recommend using waitress_ or gunicorn_ (linux only) for `paste` wsgi app
replacement. Starting from version 1.4 waitress_ is the default wsgi server
used in RhodeCode.

To use, simply change change the following in the .ini file::

    use = egg:Paste#http

to::

    use = egg:waitress#main

or::

    use = egg:gunicorn#main


And comment out bellow options::

    threadpool_workers =
    threadpool_max_requests =
    use_threadpool =


You can simply run `paster serve` as usual.


You can always disable git/hg support by editing a
file **rhodecode/__init__.py** and commenting out backends

.. code-block:: python

   BACKENDS = {
       'hg': 'Mercurial repository',
       #'git': 'Git repository',
   }
