Indeed I am using section-from-path, but the name of the sections are
just fine.

What I was looking for is the possibility to for instance make cgit
using a file called "description" in the directory that it makes a
section as description of that section.

I'm not using Gitolite.

Yes I noticed that, but I find it less nice than having the root-title
for the link.

That is exactly what I did for now. Maybe it is enough. I'll see with
the time how much I like it this way :).

FWIW, here is the filter I wrote to make link clickable in plaintext
READMEs: http://paste.fulltxt.net/LKdVjbHaY (it is quick and dirty, it
simply considers that anything between < and > and starting with "http"
is a link).

Thanks again for your really quick answer!
