gitweb.cgi, $my_uri and too many slashes in url

gitweb.cgi creates bad URLs when too many slashes are put in a URL.

Visiting http://kernel.org///git/ causes all URL prefixes to be
http://git/ 

Explicitly setting $my_uri fixes the problem so it is likely a bug in
the CGI library.

my $my_uri =            $cgi->url(-absolute => 1);

I reproduced the bug on a system with the latest version of gitweb and
Perl's CGI in Debian Unstable to ensure it wasn't just a kernel.org bug.

Thanks,

Brandon
