The $projectroot variable should point to the _common root_ of all
projects, in your case it could be one directory up your repository,
for example

  our $projectroot = /home/nick

not

  our $projectroot = /home/nick/gitrepo.git

(and '~' expansion would not work).

gitweb/README and gitweb/INSTALL should explain it in more detail.
The documentation you mentioned IIUC is for people who know how to
setup gitweb already
