Re: Removing the trailing "/.git" from gitweb display?

Your actually barking up two separate trees / issues here.

I noticed that most gitweb pages show their repositories like this:

bluetooth/bluez-gnome.git 	Bluetooth applications for ... 	Marcel Holtmann
bluetooth/bluez-hcidump.git 	Bluetooth packet analyzer 	Marcel Holtmann
bluetooth/bluez.git 	Bluetooth protocol stack for ... 	Marcel Holtmann

I'm going to assume you pulled this off of kernel.org, but the basic 
reason here is that we use the <project>.git moniker as a standard to 
designate that the underlying directory is a bare git repo.  That's 
really it there.  We do have a script that wanders our directory 
structure and looks or directories based on the <project>.git so that's 
a bit required from our perspective.

However, mine looks like this:

alsa.1862/.git	8610 audio: fabric driver uses wrong DMA channels for... 	Timur
alsa.2598/.git	8610 audio: migrate ASoC V2 drivers to mainline	Timur
alsa.3313/.git	Introduce spin_event_timeout()	Timur

If your doing that, then your putting a full git tree into gitweb as 
opposed to a bare repo.  I would suggest only putting a bare repo.

Notice how my repositories have a trailing "/.git" to them?  How do I
get rid of that?

My gitweb.conf is:

$projectroot = '/home/b04825/git/';
$site_name = "Timur Tabi's git repositories";
$home_link = $my_uri;
@stylesheets = ("gitweb.css");
$favicon = "git-favicon.png";
$logo = "git-logo.png";
$projects_list = '/home/b04825/git/projects_list';
$projects_list_description_width = 50;

And /home/b04825/git/projects_list looks like:

alsa.1862/.git Timur
alsa.2598/.git Timur
alsa.3313/.git Timur

I presume the reason why gitweb shows the trailing "/.git" is because
that's what my projects_list file contains.  However, if I remove the
"/.git" from projects_list, gitweb can't find any repositories.
