Removing the trailing "/.git" from gitweb display?

I noticed that most gitweb pages show their repositories like this:

bluetooth/bluez-gnome.git Bluetooth applications for ... Marcel Holtmann bluetooth/bluez-hcidump.git Bluetooth packet analyzer Marcel Holtmann bluetooth/bluez.git Bluetooth protocol stack for ... Marcel Holtmann

However, mine looks like this:

alsa.1862/.git 8610 audio: fabric driver uses wrong DMA channels for... Timur alsa.2598/.git 8610 audio: migrate ASoC V2 drivers to mainline Timur alsa.3313/.git Introduce spin_event_timeout() Timur

Notice how my repositories have a trailing "/.git" to them? How do I get rid of that?

My gitweb.conf is:

$projectroot = '/home/b04825/git/'; $site_name = "Timur Tabi's git repositories"; $home_link = $my_uri; @stylesheets = ("gitweb.css"); $favicon = "git-favicon.png"; $logo = "git-logo.png"; $projects_list = '/home/b04825/git/projects_list'; $projects_list_description_width = 50;

And /home/b04825/git/projects_list looks like:

alsa.1862/.git Timur alsa.2598/.git Timur alsa.3313/.git Timur

I presume the reason why gitweb shows the trailing "/.git" is because that's what my projects_list file contains. However, if I remove the "/.git" from projects_list, gitweb can't find any repositories.
