If by "git-web" you mean "gitweb", the git web interface in Perl, this
is simply not true.  From the commit 25691fb (gitweb: Use --git-dir
parameter instead of setting $ENV{'GIT_DIR'}) _at least_ gitweb uses
"git <comd>" and not "git-cmd" form.  And this commit was on 28 August
2006, so in March 2008 gitweb didn't use git<DASH> form...

Check your facts, please...
