The filesystem traversing limit for getting the project list; the number
is taken as depth relative to the projectroot. It is used when
GITWEB_LIST is a directory (or is not set; then project root is used).

* GITWEB_LIST
Points to a directory to scan for projects (defaults to project root
when gitweb.cgi is executed, then the file specified in the environment
variable will be loaded instead of the file specified when gitweb.cgi was
created. [Default: /etc/gitweb.conf]
+ * HIGHLIGHT_BIN
+ Path to the highlight executable to use (must be the one from
+ http://www.andre-simon.de due to assumptions about parameters and output).
+ Useful if highlight is not installed on your webserver's PATH.
+ [Default: highlight]
Runtime gitweb configuration
* $my_url, $my_uri
Full URL and absolute URL of gitweb script;
in earlier versions of gitweb you might have need to set those
- variables, now there should be no need to do it.
+ variables, now there should be no need to do it. See
+ $per_request_config if you need to set them still.
* $base_url
Base URL for relative URLs in pages generated by gitweb,
(e.g. $logo, $favicon, @stylesheets if they are relative URLs),
needed and used only for URLs with nonempty PATH_INFO via
<base href="$base_url">. Usually gitweb sets its value correctly,
and there is no need to set this variable, e.g. to $my_uri or "/".
+ See $per_request_config if you need to set it anyway.
* $home_link
Target of the home link on top of all pages (the first part of view
"breadcrumbs"). By default set to absolute URI of a page ($my_uri).
full description is available as 'title' attribute (usually shown on
mouseover). By default set to 25, which might be too small if you
use long project descriptions.
+ * $projects_list_group_categories
+ Enables the grouping of projects by category on the project list page.
+ The category of a project is determined by the $GIT_DIR/category
+ file or the 'gitweb.category' variable in its repository configuration.
+ Disabled by default.
+ * $project_list_default_category
+ Default category for projects for which none is specified. If set
+ to the empty string, such projects will remain uncategorized and
+ listed at the top, above categorized projects.
* @git_base_url_list
List of git base URLs used for URL to where fetch project from, shown
in project summary page. Full URL is "$git_base_url/$project".
If server load exceed this value then return "503 Service Unavailable" error.
Server load is taken to be 0 if gitweb cannot determine its value. Set it to
undefined value to turn it off. The default is 300.

+ * $highlight_bin
+ Path to the highlight executable to use (must be the one from
+ http://www.andre-simon.de due to assumptions about parameters and output).
+ Useful if highlight is not installed on your webserver's PATH.
+ [Default: highlight]
+ * $per_request_config
+ If set to code reference, it would be run once per each request. You can
+ set parts of configuration that change per session, e.g. by setting it to
+ sub { $ENV{GL_USER} = $cgi->remote_user || "gitweb"; }
+ Otherwise it is treated as boolean value: if true gitweb would process
+ config file once per request, if false it would process config file only
+ once. Note: $my_url, $my_uri, and $base_url are overwritten with
+ their default values before every request, so if you want to change
+ them, be sure to set this variable to true or a code reference effecting
+ the desired changes. The default is true.
Projects list file format

from the template during repository creation. You can use the
gitweb.description repo configuration variable, but the file takes
precedence.
+ * category (or gitweb.category)
+ Singe line category of a project, used to group projects if
+ $projects_list_group_categories is enabled. By default (file and
+ configuration variable absent), uncategorized projects are put in

* cloneurl (or multiple-valued gitweb.url)
File with repository URL (used for clone and fetch), one per line.
Displayed in the project summary page. You can use multiple-valued
