No, gitweb-export-ok file has to be in $GIT_DIR (like description file),
not part of repo.

As to "No projects found" error: what is your $projectroot? Is it
either "/path-to-repo/repository" or "/path-to-repo"? Is repository
readable and searchable for the web server user (does it have correct
permissions)?
