P.S. I started to get strange errors XML Parsing Error: xml processing instruction not at start of external entity Location: http://localhost/cgi-bin/gitweb/gitweb.cgi Line Number 37, Column 1: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> ^ while "show source" shows that '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>' is the first line. WTF?!? P.P.S. Now I am getting errors when running gitweb, but only in some cases (via mod_cgi not as standalone script, only when using lynx), namely it looks like it falls back to 'latin1' when doing content which is valid UTF-8.
