Thanks for contributing to Git!
Please see Documentation/SubmittingPatches for details,
tl;dr:
* If you can legally agree with
   https://developercertificate.org/
   add a line "Signed-off-by: NAME <email>"
* Please give a more descriptive commit message.
  Usually we phrase the commit subject as
  "area: do thing", you have the "do thing" part,
  but the area is unclear. Maybe:
      gitweb: use filetest to allow ACLs
* Keep the message text roughly at 70 characters per line,
  as that is easier to read in e.g. git-show.
* Instead of linking to github, we usually only refer to the commit, e.g.
   In commit 46a1385 (gitweb: skip unreadable subdirectories, 2017-07-18)
   we forgot to handle non-unix ACLs as well. Fix this.
* Do we need a test/documentation for this?

Thanks, Stefan
