diff: drop per file ignore-whitespace and context - it didn't work and had conceptual issue (Issue #344)
Diffs are currently generated at the low level as one big diff between two vcs
resisions, provided global values for diff context size and flag for ignoring
whitespace. All files use the same flags. There is no way to actually compute
the full diff using these use per file flags, and no simple and efficient way
to add it.
The best option is thus to drop the failed attempt at making it per file, and
just rely on the simple global flags in the URL.
The links for changing whitespace and context is sometimes shown for the whole
"page", and sometimes next to the diff for one file. For now, keep showing the
link in these places, but make sure it navigates back to the FID of the section
where the link was clicked.
The implementation is completely rewritten and moved to a more appropriate
location in helpers.
With a more clean implementation, we also consistently use the simple getters
to extract values from the URL.

=============================
Version control systems setup
=============================
Kallithea supports Git and Mercurial repositories out-of-the-box.
For Git, you do need the ``git`` command line client installed on the server.
You can always disable Git or Mercurial support by editing the
file ``kallithea/__init__.py`` and commenting out the backend. For example, to
disable Git but keep Mercurial enabled:
.. code-block:: python
BACKENDS = {
'hg': 'Mercurial repository',
#'git': 'Git repository',
}
Git-specific setup
------------------
Web server with chunked encoding
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Large Git pushes require an HTTP server with support for
chunked encoding for POST. The Python web servers waitress_ and
gunicorn_ (Linux only) can be used. By default, Kallithea uses
waitress_ for `gearbox serve` instead of the built-in `paste` WSGI
server.
The web server used by gearbox is controlled in the .ini file::
use = egg:waitress#main
or::
use = egg:gunicorn#main
Also make sure to comment out the following options::
threadpool_workers =
threadpool_max_requests =
use_threadpool =
Increasing Git HTTP POST buffer size
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If Git pushes fail with HTTP error code 411 (Length Required), you may need to
increase the Git HTTP POST buffer. Run the following command as the user that
runs Kallithea to set a global Git variable to this effect::
git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000
