[PATCH] gitweb: Allow users to have their own project directories.

[PATCH] gitweb: Allow users to have their own project directories.

[Mark Wooding]

The git-daemon understands `~USER/...' as referring to a project within
USER's home directory.  This change makes gitweb able to serve each
user's personal projects without them all having to be linked into one
place.

If the gitweb_config.perl file defines $user_path then a username given
in the `u' argument, or as a leading `/~USER/' string in the PATH_INFO,
causes gitweb to look for projects in $homedir/$user_path (where
$homedir is USER's home directory).

Rather than expose all their projects, or the ones with an export file
in them, a user can write a file listing the projects to be exported by
gitweb.  (Maybe this ought to force strict_export on, but it doesn't at
the moment.)

This patch leaves it as someone else's problem to actually work out
which users have exported GIT repositories, and maybe compile them into
a list.
