Why "on some installations"? What does "some" mean? I don't think it
is something indeterministic: please spell when one can have problems
with linking CSS file.

Wouldn't it be simpler to deal with problem of base URL when using
path_info gitweb URLs to add BASE element to HTML head if we use
path_info? Something like:

	if ($ENV{'PATH_INFO'}) {  # $path_info is unfortunately stripped
		print qq(<base href="$my_uri">\n);
	} 

somewhere in git_header_html() subroutine?

It is not the same case for git-logo.png and git-favicon.png as for
gitweb.css? If it is not, please explain why in commit message.
If it is, then your patch is only partial solution to path_info
problem.
