Gitweb recognizes two kinds of URL:

http://example.org/gitweb/?p=owner/repo.git;a=summary
http://example.org/gitweb/owner/repo.git

Previously, the default NixOS configuration worked only with the former one. This commit adds support for the latter.

To make gitweb generate the links in the latter format, one should put

$feature{'pathinfo'}{'default'} = [1];

into the configuration file, as shown in the example.

See https://github.com/git/git/blob/e2067b49ecaef9b7f51a17ce251f9207f72ef52d/gitweb/gitweb.perl#L398-L415 for details.
