Yeah, I have the change here:

https://github.com/johnkeeping/cgit/tree/jk/update-git

but it's currently pointing at a random point on Git's master branch.

It looks like the relevant change is targeted at maint in Git [1] so we
should be good to go when 1.8.2.1 appears.  I'll send a proper patch
soon after that happens.
