Since nobody replied and I missed some gitweb guys in CC, I'm adding
Petr and Jakub, as some guys said on IRC.

Have anyone tried this patch, any problems?

 sorry, I have it in my review queue. At first pass it was looking
good, but I wanted to look at it better before commenting.

no problem, just to see it was noticed or not :-)

 One thing I'm wondering about is how to make this stuff configurable,
since I'm not very comfortable with adding more "unbound" configuration
variables and would rather prefer stuff to be added to the $features
array... I'm not at all sure about my own sentiment here, however.

Path comparison (first patch), Sections (second), both?

I know path comparison can be a performance hit on large listings on
sites with heavy traffic. However, I don't see many people accessing
the projects page at the same time for long periods, it's not like
slashdot... people mostly use it to know about repositories and then
use git to track it.
    The slowness is due O(n^2) worst case of sort and each step is not
a bit heavier since it need to split path into components and walk
these. Maybe cache the split?
