Here it would be nice to have longer description, like:
  Check repository configuration gitweb.description for project
  description, if $GIT_DIR/description does not exist

Note that 'description' file is created by default when creating repository by git-init by default repo template.

The rest of this hook use "git cmd". Preferred way to call git commands is "git cmd". So I would use

  "git config gitweb.description"
