The above may be a reason not to run gitweb in such a repository, but if you are viewing such a private tree, perhaps thru instaweb, wouldn't you be interested in viewing them? > OTOH, it might make sense to make remote_heads enabled by default (and > overridable). Perhaps. I'll stop commenting on "should this be optional, if so what should be the default" and let others chime in. Honestly I do not care that deeply either way.
