gitweb/README: fix AliasMatch in example
When combining "dumb client" and human-friendly access by using the '.git' extension to switch between the two, make sure the AliasMatch covers the entire request. Without a full match, a request for http://git.example.com/project/shortlog/branch..gitsomething would result in a 404 because the server would try to access the the project 'project/shortlog/branch.' The solution is still not bulletproof, so document the possible failing case. Signed-off-by: Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
