Re: [PATCH] gitweb: Document that gitweb deals with bare repositories

Yes, it does, but I wish it weren't true.  I don't see why gitweb can't be enhanced to support non-bare repositories without using symlinks or other hackery.

To avoid the overhead of gitweb scanning all of my repositories for other respitories, I use a packages_list, which is automatically recreated whenever I add a new repo.  However, I think having to create a shadow bare repository with a cron job to keep it more-or-less update is wrong.

Just my two cents.
