The simple and fast solution would be to make post-update hook contain
the git-for-each-ref with parameters like in git_get_last_activity,
saving e.g. to .git/info/last-committer, and in gitweb read this file
if it exist, run git-for-each-ref otherwise (similar to what we used to
do with .git/info/refs and git-peek-remote in gitweb).
