Well my logic is simple. Gitweb is a part of git bundle. If you don't
want to use gitweb you're free to use git clone as you want. I don't
see  why not to provide some usability features to it. For me it is
quite obvious that it will be more comfortable to setup gitweb if this
would be in  place. Instead of putting info in few different places
manually, why not to give people a possibilty to do that using one
command?

This is usability feature, but i feel that for me as a person who will
support big ceantral bare repo hosting server, this would save huge
time and efforts...

Thanks,
Eugene
