pull requests commit overview: respect newlines and indentation (Issue #79)

Before this commit, commit messages in the pull request commit overview
would be handled like any other text in HTML, with newlines and multiple
whitespace being irrelevant.

Remove an overrule in the CSS so that the 'white-space' property remains at
'pre-wrap', causing newlines and indentation in commit messages are properly
respected in this overview. As a positive effect, only the first line of the
commit message is shown by default, just like in standard version control
commands like 'hg log'.

.. _git_support:

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


Git support in Kallithea 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 Kallithea 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 Kallithea.

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 **kallithea/__init__.py** and commenting out backends

.. code-block:: python

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