From 1a39b7278712dbdaa27de303c670134e750c345d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Nieder Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2013 15:26:00 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] gitweb/INSTALL: GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM is for backward compatibility Highlight that CONFIG_SYSTEM and /etc/gitweb.conf are meant to be the fallback configuration file in BUGS section of gitweb.conf documentation.
