Hmm, on a closer look this probably still needs some adjustments.
I noticed some links in the generated pages are incorrect.

For example, if I view a repository under a link like this:
http://localhost/gotwebd-unix/?index_page=&path=diff.git&action=summary
the links in the "Repos / diff.git / summary" bar at the top lack
the "gotwebd-unix" part and lead into 404:
http://localhost/?index_page=0&path=diff.git&action=summary
