That was for consistency with other parts of the subroutine which (mostly) remove items from the global $path_info variable when they are added to %input_params. But since $path_info isn't used after it has been parsed, I suppose it is redundant. > >> - I think that people would want to be able to configure how > >> many levels of directory hierarchy gets turned into categories. > >> Perhaps only top level should be turned into category?

That would mean changing the project filter to match categories as well as paths. I don't know if this is the right thing to do; perhaps it is, because the current behaviour of my category headings is a bit surprising. At the moment, clicking on the "git" category heading on the page linked below takes you to a page that does not list all the repos that were under the category heading on the main page. https://git.csx.cam.ac.uk/x/ucs/ > - even if $projects_list_directory_is_category is true, the category > could came from 'category' file, or otherwise manually set category, > though I wonder how we can easily detect this... Yes - I use this to list my personal/experimental repos alongside the production repos. I'm not sure why gitweb would need to detect this or what it would do in response. At the moment it "just works", apart from the oddity with categories vs project filters i described above.
