Git Web Access

Introduction

For those who have interests in a Smart-HTTP Git server on IIS, the project provides an ASP.NET HttpHandler that let you run Smart HTTP Git on IIS. It is inspired by Grack, a Ruby Rack based application for Smart HTTP Git and git_http_backend.py, a python implementation of Smart HTTP Git.

The ASP.HET handler, GitHandler, is lightweight and can be used in any ASP.NET web applications and web sites. Another reusable piece is the WCF data service that exposes Git repository through WCF data services / OData protocol. The OData feed can be used to plot the commit graph on HTML5 canvas.
