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. -- Timur Tabi Linux kernel developer at Freescale
