They wouldn't necessarily need to. git-clone and git-pull attempt to use URLs which wouldn't be used in normal gitweb usage -- for example, any attempt to fetch http://git.infradead.org/?p=mtd-2.6.git/HEAD or http://git.infradead.org/?p=mtd-2.6.git/refs/heads can be assumed to be an attempt to clone or pull with git. So gitweb could be modified to detect those URLs and give a simple textual redirect which the git tools could understand.
