Wrong answer.

Exactly because it is configurable, the document that outlines the
recommended practice should suggest the best convention.  My point was
that it is likely to be tied to "git"-ness of the specified directory
under $HOME/, not limited to "gitweb"-ness, and it is wrong to recommend a
name tied to "gitweb"-ness in this document.
