I came to strong; I am very, very sorry about that. We are really interested how we can make existence and use of gitweb config file more obvious.

The "Build time configuration" section in gitweb/INSTALL is unfortunately after the one-page fold, so that's probably why you didn't notice that. It was probably pushed out by changes in previous section.

What were your changes to gitweb.cgi script, i.e. where in gitweb sources we should add notification about build time and runtime gitweb configuration?
