Not quite. This patch deals with the sorting of the sections, not the
content of the sections!

Example: http://git.xcsoar.org/

Normally cgit would order the existing sections like this:
Individual developer repositories, Mirrors of related projects,
Official repositories

but we wanted it like this:
Official repositories, Individual developer repositories, Mirrors of
related projects

so the solution is to set sort-sections to 0 and define the order
manually in the cgitrc file.
