Hmm.  I was hopeful when I saw that your configuration was different
from mine.  However, it seems to be something else.  BTW, I'm running
cherokee on ARM.

========================================
Directory / {
    Handler common
}

Directory /g/ {
    Handler cgi {
        Scriptalias /usr/lib/cgi-bin/git.cgi
    }
}
Directory /git/ {
    Handler cgi {
        Scriptalias /usr/lib/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi
    }
}
========================================

gitweb.cgi is an old version.  git.cgi is the latest release.

I can see the project overview page, but all of the links bring me
back to the same top-level page, no summary, not logs.  I've verified
that the web server's user can read the git repo. 

I don't doubt that this is a cherokee issue.

Cheers.
