Current cgit also allows cloning over http using the same url as for
browsing the repo, i.e. you may

  $ git clone http://hjemli.net/git/cgit

This has one advantage over just publishing the repo; you don't have
to run `git-update-server-info` (thanks to the work done by Shawn O.
Pearce on git-http-backend, which is shamelessly reimplemented in
cgit).
