Wrong answer.

Exactly because it is configurable, the document that outlines the recommended practice should suggest the best convention. My point was that it is likely to be tied to "git"-ness of the specified directory under $HOME/, not limited to "gitweb"-ness, and it is wrong to recommend a name tied to "gitweb"-ness in this document.
