1. Your numbers are doubled because gitweb.cgi is the built form of
gitweb.perl.

2. Look at the grep output. They are all in comments or messages.
Perhaps the messages should say "open git diff failed" instead of "open
git-diff failed". But the "git-foo" form has been kept as a
typographical convention because it makes more sense from a language
perspective (just as you would hyphenate some compound words, or an
adjective phrase). Perhaps that is a mistake, given the confusion.
