PATCH 1/1 gitweb: document webserver configuration for common gitweb/repo URLs.
Add a small apache configuration which shows how to use apache to put gitweb and GIT repositories at the same URL.

I've been running such a configuration on git.admingilde.org for quite some time now, it's time to document it:

Add a small apache configuration which shows how to use apache to put gitweb and GIT repositories at the same URL.
It might be helpful to include
SetEnv GITWEB_CONFIG /etc/gitweb.conf
in that little apache snippet, to show how specify a config file for gitweb.

I agree. Please make it so by sending in a one-liner patch with sign-off so that we can get attribution right without minimum fuss.
