I found that lighttpd works well, though the configuration was a little more complex.

The recipe that works well is to make the URL

  http://server/git

to the gitweb.cgi script. I put the script and the CSS file in a directory, /var/lib/git/, and then put the following into the lighttpd configuration:

  # Serve GIT
  url.redirect    = ( "^/git$" => "/git/" )
  alias.url       += ( "/git/" => "/var/lib/git/" )
  $HTTP["url"]    =~ "^/git/" {
    cgi.assign            = ( ".cgi" => "" )
    index-file.names      = ( "gitweb.cgi" )
  }

Cheers.
