Hmm, which webservers support CGI but don't pass PATH_INFO?


BTW, couple of notes for people who will want to try it: if gitweb.cgi
serves as your indexfile, this will break; you need to override $my_uri
in gitweb_config. Also, you need to change the default location of CSS,
favicon and logo to an absolute URL.
