Excerpts from David Waitzman's message of Fri Mar 23 09:13:44 -0400 2012:

Hi David,

This is a trivial patch to correct the english in the man page.
Good catch!

-The name of repository in gitweb is path to it's `$GIT_DIR` (it's object
+The name of repository in gitweb is path to its `$GIT_DIR` (its object

Might I suggest that this be:

+The name of the repository in gitweb is the path to its `$GIT_DIR` (its object

Note the inserted _the_'s.

Thanks
-Ben

From: David Waitzman <hidden>

This is a trivial patch to correct the english in the man page.  Ben Walton suggested an additional english fix which I have added and squashed with my change.

Fixed improper use of "it's" when it should be "its".
Added missing "the"; noted by Ben Walton bwalton@artsci.utoronto.ca
