As far as I know it is now possible (of course if your web server is configured to redirect / to gitweb.cgi, e.g. for Apache using ScriptAlias directive) via PATH_INFO support. At least it is what is intended.

Gitweb doesn't generate links in such a way, yet, but this should be fairly easy now, changing only href() subroutine.

But apart from this one parameter the rest have to be passed as CGI parameters,
