From: Spencer E. Olson Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2010 20:40:38 +0000 (-0600) Subject: Allow HTTP user agent string to be modified. X-Git-Tag: v1.7.3-rc0~48^2 X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b1d1058cc348a985a6209f920fab0db592dc83de;p=git.git Allow HTTP user agent string to be modified. Some firewalls restrict HTTP connections based on the clients user agent. This commit provides the user the ability to modify the user agent string via either a new config option (http.useragent) or by an environment variable (GIT_HTTP_USER_AGENT). Relevant documentation is added to Documentation/config.txt. Signed-off-by: Spencer E.
