I just upgraded my Gitweb package (I'm testing the EPEL RHEL5 latest; I'm not too happy with them tweaking the paths) and as I should have expected all of my Gitweb configuration is now gone. Not that it's a big deal to put it back, but we should probably give the option of keeping that configuration information separate from the executable in my opinion. Anybody else want to speak up with respect to this? I have some idea what a prospective patch would look like, but I'd like to hear from people before putting it together (and to let it solidify in my head for a while first as well).
