Hello,
I am wondering about a possibly easy bug which you may be aware of.
For some reason if I place a symbolic link in a directory under the
project root, gitweb is no longer able to find the project. I was
looking through the .cgi file but I don't know enough perl to fix the
problem myself.
Let me know if this makes sense.
Cheers
Marco

Most WEB servers disable following link for security reasons. Check
it's disabled first.

WORKSFORME. I have gitweb setup so some of repositories are in
$projectroot directory via symlink, either to repository itself, or
with symlinked earlier part of path, and it works correctly and shows
all those repositories.
I suspect that your web server is configured to not follow symbolic
links, or your user account used by web server is not allowed (doesn't
have permissions) to follow symbolic links.
P.S. You should look into source file gitweb/gitweb.perl, not
installed script gitweb.cgi
