BUGS
----
Debugging would be easier if the fallback configuration file
(`/etc/gitweb.conf`) and environment variable to override its location
('GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM') had names reflecting their "fallback" role.
The current names are kept to avoid breaking working setups.

Note that if per-instance configuration file exists, then system-wide
configuration is _not used at all_. This is quite untypical and surprising
behavior. On the other hand changing current behavior would break backwards
compatibility and can lead to unexpected changes in gitweb behavior.
Therefore gitweb also looks for common system-wide configuration file,
normally /etc/gitweb-common.conf (set during build time using build time
configuration variable GITWEB_CONFIG_COMMON, set it at runtime using
environment variable with the same name). Settings from per-instance or

You can use GITWEB_CONFIG_COMMON common system-wide configuration

settings that apply to all instances. Settings from per-instance or
system-wide configuration file override those from common system-wide
configuration file.
