I would respond earlier if it was submitted with patch inline in mail body, and not attached. If it needs to be attached (because of MUA/MTA linewrapping or encoding issues), it should use 8bit and not base64 content transfer encoding, have 'text/plain' and not 'application/octet-stream' content type, and "inline" and not "attachement" in content disposition.
It also lacks proper commit message (although email describes it quite well) and signoff, as per Documentation/SubmittingPatches.
I like this patch. More examples in gitweb/README are always good idea.

The description is a bit lacking. Where user should put theirs git repositories, or symbolic links to git repositories? How it would look like in gitweb?
