Subject: [PATCH 1/2] web--browse: use custom commands defined at config time
Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2008 05:56:49 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080314055649.0bd59b47.chriscool@tuxfamily.org> (raw)

This a steal from 964473a0429f625d019c69ab55644540174acf85 by
Charles Bailey.

Currently "git web--browse" is restricted to a set of commands defined
in the script. You can subvert the "browser.<tool>.path" to force "git
web--browse" to use a different command, but if you have a command
whose invocation syntax does not match one of the current tools then
you would have to write a wrapper script for it.

This patch adds a git config variable "browser.<tool>.cmd" which
allows a more flexible browser choice.

If you run "git web--browse" with -t/--tool, -b/--browser or the
"web.browser" config variable set to an unrecognized tool then "git
web--browse" will query the "browser.<tool>.cmd" config variable. If
this variable exists, then "git web--browse" will treat the specified
tool as a custom command and will use a shell eval to run the command
with the URLs added as extra parameters.
