Your numbers are doubled because gitweb.cgi is the built form of gitweb.perl. 2. Look at the grep output. They are all in comments or messages. Perhaps the messages should say "open git diff failed" instead of "open git-diff failed". But the "git-foo" form has been kept as a typographical convention because it makes more sense from a language perspective (just as you would hyphenate some compound words, or an adjective phrase). Perhaps that is a mistake, given the confusion. -Peff
