Hi,

When reading the Apache server mod_rewrite documentation, I noticed
that it had this to say about the "PT" (passthrough) option:

The PT flag implies the L flag: rewriting will be stopped in order to
pass the request to the next phase of processing.

Current, the gitweb documentation has a mod_rewrite example that uses
the option "[L,PT]".  Since the "L" is probably redundant, I propose
the following patch:

Regards,
Roy
