Yes.  Well, I'm still using it, and I found a few mentions on the web:

https://android.git.kernel.org/?p=tools/gerrit.git;a=blob;f=gerrit-httpd/src/main/java/com/google/gerrit/httpd/gitweb/GitWebServlet.java;h=947fbb423f1f8cf46db9876f4b80c600cdf9ee41;hb=HEAD#l193

http://www.digitalfoo.net/posts/2009/11/git,_gitosis,_gitweb_on_FreeBSD/

And there are probably others who did their own custom things (GitHub?)
before the feature was added upstream.
