Subject: Installing using Apache rewrites

I don't bother with rewrite rules for cgit anymore.  My vhost looks
something like this:

cgit.conf
-----------
<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName example.com

   Alias /cgit-data /var/www/cgit
   ScriptAlias / /var/www/cgi-bin/cgit/

</VirtualHost>

/etc/cgitrc
-------------
...
css=/cgit-data/cgit.css
logo=/cgit-data.cgit.png
virtual-root=/
...

It will inherit the parent DocumentRoot and Directory settings.  If you
want, you can specify them for your own sanity:
DocumentRoot /var/www/cgit

<Directory /var/www/cgit>
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

I don't think there's much apache config help here, but I thought I'd offer
my insight; at the very least, what I have done.

If you want to go crazy, you can even set Expires headers for your images /
css in your config as well, but you can find examples of how to do that in
apache's documentation.
