skip github repos

[andreacfm]

Add a new config to allow skipping github repos from the display.
Repos are skipped ny name.

Looks like there's a bug here.

In github.js as you loop through repos (starting line 34), you (potentially) call repos.splice(i,1) (line 36)...but this removes an element from repos, reducing its length. If its length is reduced, you are never able to loop through all elements in repos.

I guess the solution is to use a new array and populate it with elements in repos that are not in your "skip" list.

Alternatively this pull request looks like it will work: #400 (ah, it's still using the old github v2 api...so easiest just to fix 522).

Can't call repos.splice inside of loop through repos.length because splicing (in this case removing an element) changes the length of repos, therefore not all elements will be iterated over.

My solution is (from line 32):

var display_repos = new Array();                                                                                                                                                               
if(skips.length > 0){                                                                                                                                                                          
  for(var i=0; i < repos.length; i++){                                                                                                                                                         
    if(skips.indexOf(repos[i].name) < 0){                                                                                                                                                    
      display_repos.push(repos[i]);                                                                                                                                                        
    }                                                                                                                                                                                        
  }                                                                                                                                                                                            
}                                                                                                                                                                                              

render(options.target, display_repos);

Tested against all edge cases.

My javascript skills aren't flash, so there may well be a much nicer way to do this.

We've made it so that you have to explicitly include them via your configuration file for the GH repos sidebar plugin. This is thus unneeded.
