No kidding. I've set up a couple of gitweb instances, if you need any help.

In particular:

edit *.git/description to set the description column in the gitweb index

add the git-daemon base url to the git_base_url_list definition in
gitweb.cgi. Something like

our @git_base_url_list = grep { $_ ne '' } ("git://git.freetype.org");

There's some way to also list an http url, which is helpful for people
behind firewalls, but I've not figured it out yet. You don't want to
default to the http url because it's so much slower.
