Guessing:

in the repository's own configuration, ``readme`` is set to
``:man/pass.1`` ("that file, from whatever commit/branch we're
currently rendering") see
https://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/tree/cgitrc.5.txt#n588

and ``about-filter`` is set to the path of a script that can render
manpages to HTML, see
