Subject: [PATCH] gitweb: Show project README if available

From: Petr Baudis <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2006 04:56:28 +0200

If the project includes a README file, show it in the summary page.
The usual "this should be in the config file" argument does not apply here
since this can be larger and having such a big string in the config file
would be impractical.

I don't know if this is suitable upstream, but it's one of the repo.or.cz
custom modifications that I've thought could be interesting for others
as well.
