The repo.readme section of the man page (cgitrc(5)) has a pretty good
write up of how to configure about pages on a per-repo basis. The readme
entry in cgitrc (*not* root-readme) acts as a default list.

I personally just keep all of the entries defined in cgitrc and dispense
with the per-repo configuration. My cgitrc looks like this:

readme=:README.md
readme=:README.rst

That way cgit will globally render README pages written in Markdown or
reStructuredText.
