Re: Make Gitweb behave like Apache mod_userdir

For starters I think overriding the /~<user> (specifically the ~ here) is
going to be a bad idea no matter what you do and gives the wrong impression
about what / how the request is being responded to.  You might want to try
and pick a different delimiter or re-work the rule so that you could have
something like:

       http://git.kernel.org/<gitweb urls>
       http://git.kernel.org/user/<gitweb urls>

Your also, likely, going to need to take into account things like index.cgi
and gitweb.cgi in the url as things like:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=bluetooth/bluez-gnome.git;a=summary
http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=bluetooth/bluez-gnome.git;a=summary
