Good catch!

> -The name of repository in gitweb is path to it's `$GIT_DIR` (it's object
> +The name of repository in gitweb is path to its `$GIT_DIR` (its object


Might I suggest that this be:

+The name of the repository in gitweb is the path to its `$GIT_DIR` (its object

Note the inserted _the_'s.

Thanks

Two _the_'s were missing in the original.  This should read:

The name of _the_ repository in gitweb is _the_ path to its...

[snip patch]

Note that the correct way to put commentary in the patch mail that does
not go into the commit message is putting it after the --- marker.
Also, we write commit messages in the imperative.  The above should
probably look roughly like

  Subject: Documentation/gitweb: trivial English fixes

  Change "it's" to "its" where a possessive is intended.

  Also add two missing "the" that were noticed by Ben Walton
  <bwalton@artsci.utoronto.ca>.

Note that I added "Subject:" here to make it an inline patch (though you
obviously need to remove my extra formatting indent).  If there's no
Subject pseudoheader, the patch gets the subject of your email, and
similarly for From and author.
