Ok, for now I've added a --scan-tree=<path> commandline option which
will make cgit print a sorted list of the repositories found to
stdout. If/when this does a reasonable job on repo.or.cz I can look
into some form of automatic rescanning (enabled from cgitrc).

I've also pushed support for PATH_INFO. This allows you to drop the
rewriterules from httpd.conf and the 'virtual-url' option from cgitrc
and still get the 'nice' urls.

It's due to cgits terrible functions for parsing commits and tags.
I've pushed a reworked patch which should make the parsing more robust
and thus also render glibc.git correctly.

Finally, and probably more interesting for freedesktop.org than
repo.or.cz, is the support for repolist filtering by url prefix
(compare http://hjemli.net/git and http://hjemli.net/git/xorg for a
minimal example).

This is all available from the master branch in
git://hjemli.net/pub/git/cgit, enjoy!
