Are you currently using "section-from-path"?  If you use the
"repo.section" configuration option then you can name the sections
however you want, but this is not possible if you are generating the
sections automatically.

If you're combining CGit with Gitolite you may be able to avoid listing
repositories twice by using CGit's "enable-git-config" option to
configure the "repo.section" variable (I'm not sure if you can set a
config variable on a group of repositories in Gitolite, but I think you
should be able to).

I don't think this is currently possible.  Note that the word "index" is
actually a link to the list of repositories.

For the "homepage" link, have you considered simply adding a link to the
repository's readme (on the about tab)?  I thought there was a way to
make the "about" tab the default instead of the "summary" tab, but I
can't find it when I go looking so I must be wrong about that.
