Well my logic is simple. Gitweb is a part of git bundle. If you don't want to use gitweb you're free to use git clone as you want. I don't see why not to provide some usability features to it. For me it is quite obvious that it will be more comfortable to setup gitweb if this would be in place. Instead of putting info in few different places manually, why not to give people a possibilty to do that using one command?

This is usability feature, but i feel that for me as a person who will support big ceantral bare repo hosting server, this would save huge time and efforts...

Thanks, Eugene
