+Runtime gitweb configuration
+----------------------------
+
+You can adjust gitweb behaviour using the file specified in `GITWEB_CONFIG`
+(defaults to 'gitweb_config.perl' in the same directory as the CGI).
+See the top of 'gitweb.cgi' for the list of variables and some description.
+The most notable thing that is not configurable at compile time are the
+optional features, stored in the '%features' variable. You can find further
+description on how to reconfigure the default features setting in your
+`GITWEB_CONFIG` or per-project in `project.git/config` inside 'gitweb.cgi'.
