The below patch should be a start (only tested on my fairly standard
.git/config).  A --python option should be easy, too :)

Good point.  Having to maintain a .git/config.perl in the repository
would be a pain from an administrative standpoint; but on the other hand
.git/config is not often regenerated.

I don't think giving gitweb write access to a repo is a good idea;
either.  Perhaps it would be updated via hook like the HTTP stuff.
IMHO, there is nothing wrong with gitweb writing to /tmp; however.
