The problem is that in place of proper commit message, describing
change for posteriority as described in SubmittingPatches, you have an
email describing why you created this commit:

Take a look how other commit messages are written in git.git, and
please remember to sign off your patches.

The [gitweb] section contains stuff that can be used instead of
individual files like 'description' ('gitweb.description' can be used
instead if that file is not present), and also to configure
overridable features on per-repository basis, like 'gitweb.snapshot'.

I think that if not using autodetection this should be made into
proper gitweb %feature, e.g. named 'eol' - this automatically gives
ability to override it on per-repository basis via repo config.
