Hello Junio, thank you for your comment in message <7vip9ak971.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> that message <1352652039-31453-1-git-send-email-xypron.glpk@xxxxxx> lost the thread context. As already described I would be happy if a README.html could be added to the overview page of gitweb. Please, find below an updated patch. Compared to the first version of my patch it avoids a warning concerning doubled slashes in filenames and adds a subtitle "projects" between the README and the project list. Best regards Heinrich Schuchardt Subject: [PATCH] gitweb: add readme to overview page For repositories it is possible to maintain a README.html which will be shown on the summary page. This is not possible for the server root. German law requires to provide contact data on the web server. This data could easily be entered in the overview page using a README.html. Furthermore it is possible to put the repositories not directly into the root directory but into a subdirectory. Here also a README.html would be helpful to indicate what the subdirectory is about. The patch introduces README.html functionality for the root directory and all subdirectories.
