The simplest way is to click on \"TXT\" link\nin projects list page, save it somewhere, edit it, and recompile gitweb\nwith this file as GITWEB_LIST (see README): \n make ... GITWEB_LIST= gitweb/gitweb.cgi\n(or just edit gitweb.cgi or gitweb_conf.perl setting $projects_list\nto this file).\n\nPerhaps gitweb should use user.name from the repository instead...\n\nP.S.
