Could we use the git.git repository itself for testing gitweb? At least checking if there are any errors or warnings?

The problem with test suite is that you really need _two_ tests;
first if there are any errors or warnings, then if page looks like
it should. The first can be done by simply running gitweb with
at least the following enviromental variables set:
  export GATEWAY_INTERFACE="CGI/1.1"
  export HTTP_ACCEPT="*/*"
  export REQUEST_METHOD="GET"
  export QUERY_STRING=""$1""
The second should be done by looking at gitweb output.
