The above configuration expects your public repositories to live under
If you then start your git-daemon with --base-path=/pub/git --export-all
then you can even use the git:// URL with exactly the same path.
+Setting the environment variable GITWEB_CONFIG will tell gitweb to use
+the named file (i.e. in this example /etc/gitweb.conf) as a
+configuration for gitweb. Perl variables defined in here will
+override the defaults given at the head of the gitweb.perl (or
+gitweb.cgi). Look at the comments in that file for information on
+which variables and what they mean.
