About two months ago I sent a set of three patches that made gitweb run with Apache::Registry:

  http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git&m=115089541911624

The first two patches have found their way into git, so the only thing left to do is to change the way the path to the git repository is passed to the git commands.

I haven't updated that patch since then and with all the refactoring gitweb has seen it surely won't apply anymore, but if there's interest I can rebase it to current "next".
