Subject: [PATCH 3/3] gitweb: update INSTALL w.r.t. snapshot format  
changes

Details about how to enable/disable a compression format and how to set the compression level for any given format, except Zip which does not have that ability to set a compression level.

Re: [PATCHv4 3/3] gitweb: update INSTALL w.r.t. snapshot format changes

I suppose this actually opens the door to other ways of doing things.

Instead of modifying gitweb.perl for XZ support, there could just be additional documentation on how to add new formats for compression in $GITWEB_CONFIG.

Does Gitweb install a default $GITWEB_CONFIG file?
