git-http-multi-backend

Hey!

We've built something similar for Gitorious few years ago: https://github.com/gitorious/git-http-multi-backend

Not sure if that's useful to you, but if it is then feel free to steal some code ;)

[BUG] fatal: expected flush after ref listing

I use this tool for git clone, which met a bug:

$ git-http-backend --project_root=. --git_bin_path=/home/adl/git/bin-wrappers/git
$ git clone http://localhost:8080/mono-repo.git 
Cloning into 'mono-repo'...
fatal: expected flush after ref listing

system: Linux adl 6.0.8-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu, 10 Nov 2022 21:14:24 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
git version: 2.38.1

Create a github tag/release

Go mod is complaining that the version isn't found because... who knows, but I suspect that this can be fixed by switching to a tag :)

support partial clone

Current http backend not support git partial clone, can support it? Thanks

Authorization

I'm currently evaluating the program. I still have questions about this:
Access to the repositories should be restricted to a specific group of users.
With the CGI script in combination with Apache, I create a .htaccess file with the users and passwords.
Where do I have to save the users and passwords here?
With which parameters do I have to start the program?

Add ability to pass in a logger

Would be great if we could pass in a Logger somehow to perform logging. This would allow users of the library to change the logging to match what they have within their applications.

The alternative is setting the standard logger via:

import "log"

...

log.SetFlags(0)
log.SetOutput(someLogger)

But the log output doesn't contain a level at that point because of the log.Printf calls (so I guess it would also be nice to change those to something that is a level...).
