 A fork of [gitblit] to fix various test failures, and to improve the build infrastructure using Gradle as the build tool.

 ## Gradle build
 
 Standard Gradle tasks are used in the `build.gradle` script to compile and package Gitblit artefacts. Also, custom Gradle tasks were added to the standard `buildSrc` folder to achieve complex operations which are unique to the Gitblit project, and thus are unavailable in standard Gradle nor in any relevant plugins on the Internet.
