Description Brian de Alwis CLA 2011-08-18 12:03:23 EDT 
I like using bzr to manage access to git source repos (I have a number of tools for bzr that I really like using).  bzr has a plugin, called bzr-git, that works very well in interfacing against git repositories.  bzr-git is being confused by git.eclipse.org however as fetching an invalid file from the Git server results in a 200 rather than a 404:

$ curl -sS -I http://git.eclipse.org/c/vinalid-file-name
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Is it possible to return a 404 in this case?

There's no setting in cgit for that, and I wouldn't expect there to be one.

cgit is a web front-end to git.  It is meant to be human-readable, not machine-readable.
