On git.admingilde.org I have set up apache to serve the contents of my git repositories for all the well-known git repository URLs (*.git/objects/*, *.git/refs/*, ...) and to call gitweb for all other URLs. That way I get the exact same URLs for both gitweb and http:// clone (and even for git://, just change the protocol name). I really think that it is very handy that you can give out a repository URL and any user can just click on it and get the summary page of this project. I'm sure that it is possible to transfer the PATH_INFO into a p= parameter through URL rewrite rules, but it is much easier to set up if gitweb can directly grok appended paths. I even changed the old gitweb to hand out links which used PATH_INFO rather than the p= parameter so that the URLs looked nicer. If there is interest in such a feature then I can do these changes again. -- Martin Waitz
