That's what your proposed change says to > me (while I also understand that your own position is likely far more > nuanced than that). I think this manpage is about both system-wide and per-instance config file, just like gitignore is about both in-tree .gitignore and private $GIT_DIR/info/exclude, like gitattributes is about both in-tree .gitattributes and $GIT_DIR/info/attributes,... just like ssh_config is about both system-wide ssh_config and per-user .ssh/config. And like all of those manpages are named after one file, just like this manpage. Perhaps we could even symlink/hardlink gitweb_config.perl manpage to gitweb.conf manpage... P.S. I am sorry that I didn't state more clear that I modified Drew's original submission, and didn't write in more detail what I have changed.
