Right now > the description may contain html for instance. It has to be escaped, which could be ugly with HTML. For example: [gitweb] description=
\n\ This is a chunk of text which describes this repository. Some\n\ of this text might be rather long, and might need many lines to\n\ really be able to describe the repository in a nice editor such as\n\ vi running in an 80 character wide xterm.\n\
Forget a \ in front of a double quote (") or an LF and the entry is corrupt. So as nice as it sounds it might not be the best way to obtain a description for gitweb. -- Shawn.
