Thanks a lot.
The only (minor) complaint is that from the commit message itself it
is not obvous that you meant web server (Apache) configuration trick
to have one URL for both gitweb and access via HTTP protocol for git
repositories (fetch, clone,...).

I'll squash in Mike Hommey's typofix to make the patch to read like this:

I'll also retitle it to "gitweb setup instruction: rewrite HEAD and root
as well".
Please sign-off your future patches.
Thanks.
