I am very sorry. The fault is all mine, not Drew. This is my (wrong) change.

When working on gitweb.txt manpage, and actually moving contents from gitweb's README and INSTALL, I have also changed this patch to also remove duplicated contents. And I couldn't resist the temptation to bring further changes... though I should have probably left those for a separate commit, if still claiming this as of Drew's authorship.
