Well, both git-gui and gitk have their documentation in Documentation/ (in AsciiDoc format), so perhaps it is time to add Documentation/gitweb.txt and possibly also Documentation/gitweb_config.txt (or gitweb.conf.txt). With exception of t/README, the gitweb/README file is largest, with around 570 lines, while next largest is (discarding also git-gui/po/README) main README file with around 50 lines. -- Jakub Narebski Poland
