Thanks. The script was a bit more scary than I thought, but in the end I
managed to generate something. There are trailing dots in project names,
but I'm not going to waste time on that anymore - this has long gone
over the 20 minutes I originally alotted the project anyway; I hope cgit
will gain a builtin capability for this in the future, since this is
still quite a pain. Attached is a random patch for your script I had to
use, FWIW.

Unfortunately, the recommended RewriteRule is not working - it does not
play well together with query parameters cgit is using, so e.g. browsing
past commits does not work. What RewriteRule should I use instead?
