in openSUSE /etc/mime.types has only spaces. I don't know if there's
a canonical reference that says that only tabs are allowed. Mutt at
least also accepts spaces. So make gitweb more liberal too.

A very minor nitpick: perhaps "work with" rather than "allow" would be
better?

Ack.

It is obviously correct, as names of MUME types cannot contain spaces,
it makes gitweb work with openSUSE /etc/mime.types, and it makes code
simpler.

Allow is good; we earlier didn't allow space to be treated as delimiter,
with this patch we will do.

Yes, sign-off is missing and necessary.
