Interesting work, John.  Some initial comments:

* It's a very intrusive set of changes.
* An infinite expiry date isn't valid for all pages.
* The other HTTP headers can change depending on the page returned.
* A single cache directory is going to have problems as the number of
  cached files grows.

What are the benefits of doing this inside of gitweb instead of using
something like mod_cache or mod_perl handlers?
