- Removing <> delimiters from links
- Stripping punctuation from the end of links
Yes, Perl would be easier, but I'd prefer to avoid the dependency if at all
possible. If this gets too much more complicated, Perl may be a necessity to
prevent a maintinance nightmare.
Git calls have been abstracted such that any detected VCS may be used. Of
course, I only have interest in Git at present, so it is my hope that anyone
else interested in this project will contribute.
The majority of the data is exposed via the environment and the actual body is
piped to the script. This change allows for a great deal of flexibility with
regards to templating---users may write "templates" in whatever language they
choose to generate whatever output they wish.
We should do as much processing beforehand as possible so that the template does
not need to, for example, start snooping through the repos (which will be more
complicated once we support multiple VCSs).
Certain things are thrown in place just to demonstrate the concept. Many things
are also hard-coded that should be configurable (such as the title, copyright
and RSS item count).
