I don't think it can be easily expanded. .git/info/refs is meant for
http-fetch, and it mimics git-ls-remote / git-peek-remote output.

BTW. putting the info of git-for-each-ref into .git/info/refs-details
would mean that instead of "24175 calls to git" one would need to
read 24175 files. Perhaps the whole info needed to generate projects
index page should be pre-generated on push (update), instead of per
project (per repository) .git/info/refs-details

Actually "RSS", or to be more exact OPML variant of front page in its
current invocation is equivalent of project_index page, and it can be
generated once (well, once per adding / removing / renaming a repository).
