That might be covered by my "haven't thought too carefully", but I was
thinking of maybe setting "section.collapse = 1" and then any new
sections created by scan-path would have that bit set.

However, that would require you to have separate scan-path directives to
find the repositories that should collapse and those that shouldn't.

I think you've convinced me that listing section names in the config is
the way to go.  But I still think we should invent the cgit_section
structure to hold the configuration, presumably accessed via a function
like:

	struct cgit_section *get_or_create_section(const char *name)
