Owen Taylor made an rpm package for it, srpm is at:
http://www.gnome.org/~ovitters/cgit-0.8.2_1.6.1.1-2.src.rpm

Then we have some CSS and header/footer stuff, but that is pretty basic.

I've attached the /etc/cgitrc from the server, pretty normal config
file.

The hooks and so on can be found in the gitadmin-bin module.

Note: I didn't set up git/cgit.
