It is up to the user to make sure the state of the
.Ar cachefile
is in sync with the history of the repository.
.It Fl l Ar commits
Write a maximum number of
.Ar commits
to the log.html file only.
However the commit files are written as usual.
.It Fl u Ar baseurl
Base URL to make links in the Atom feeds absolute.
For example: "https://git.codemadness.org/stagit/".
.El

The options
.Fl c
and
.Fl l
cannot be used at the same time.
.Pp
The following files will be written:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It atom.xml
Atom XML feed of the last 100 commits.
.It tags.xml
Atom XML feed of the tags.
.It files.html
List of files in the latest tree, linking to the file.
.It log.html

links to a page with a diffstat and diff of the commit.
.It refs.html

.El
.Pp
For each entry in HEAD a file will be written in the format:
file/filepath.html.
This file will contain the textual data of the file prefixed by line numbers.
The file will have the string "Binary file" if the data is considered to be
non-textual.
.Pp
For each commit a file will be written in the format:
commit/commitid.html.
This file will contain the diffstat and diff of the commit.
It will write the string "Binary files differ" if the data is considered to
be non-textual.
Too large diffs will be suppressed and a string
"Diff is too large, output suppressed" will be written.
.Pp
When a commit HTML file exists it won't be overwritten again, note that if
you've changed
.Nm
or changed one of the metadata files of the repository it is recommended to
recreate all the output files because it will contain old data.
To do this remove the output directory and
.Ar cachefile ,
then recreate the files.
.Pp
The basename of the directory is used as the repository name.
The suffix ".git" is removed from the basename, this suffix is commonly used
for "bare" repos.

.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It .git/description or description (bare repo).
description
.It .git/owner or owner (bare repo).
owner of repository
.It .git/url or url (bare repo).
primary clone URL of the repository, for example:
git://git.codemadness.org/stagit
.El
.Pp
When a README or LICENSE file exists in HEAD or a .gitmodules submodules file
exists in HEAD a direct link in the menu is made.

.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It favicon.ico
favicon image.
.It logo.svg
square logo.
