What we do is to, on request, create directories like 
/pub/scm/devel/sparse/<username> for that kind of stuff.  Let us know 
who needs them.  (This is one of many reasons you tend to see 
/pub/scm/foo/bar/bar.git as the repository path, another one is so the 
maintainer can create additional repositories as needed.)

I *think* you can just put an .htaccess file in your directory to have 
that happen.  However, please note that the URL should be 
http://www.kernel.org/... ; it may matter in the future.
