The description is a bit lacking.  Where user should put theirs git
repositories, or symbolic links to git repositories?

As I said It's only configuration so It depends of your server
architecture. If admin of the server decides he allows users to browse
via gitweb their private/public repos which are linked in
/home/*/.gitweb or anything else he has to modify the environmental
variable in the rewrite rule according to his wish.

So in described configuration, to make repository visible user would have
to put repository, or symbolic link to repository (or .git/ directory of
the repository) in ~/gitweb/ directory (just like one would need to put
HTML files in ~/public_html/ or ~/WWW/ to have them visible as web site),
isn't it?

That's right.

How it would look like in gitweb?

What do you mean ?

How would example gitweb URL to repository look like?

http://repo.or.cz/ -> list the main GITWEB_PROJECTROOT (e.g.: /pub/scm)
http://repo.or.cz/~user -> list /home/user/gitweb
http://repo.or.cz/~user2 -> list /home/user2/gitweb
...
