"The 'text/html' media type [RFC2854] is primarily for HTML, not for XHTML. In general, this media type is NOT suitable for XHTML." This patch makes gitweb use content negotiation to conservatively send pages as Content-Type 'application/xhtml+xml' when the user agent explicitly claims to support it. It falls back to 'text/html' even if the user agent claims to support 'application/xhtml+xml' by means of a glob in order to work around an insidious Internet Explorer bug.
