Alternatives

• GitWeb — it's built in, but it's a CGI script written in Perl, which is not a language I love.
• cgit — fast, but still quite complicated, and written in C, which is not very approachable.
• Klaus — simple, written in a good language (Python), well-maintained. If I didn't want to write my own, I'd be using this.

TODO

• Refactor all the code, most of it is janky
• Branch and tag support
• Use something like Isomorphic git or Git-JS to do the actual git work, rather than execing all over the place
