I think that those translation rules are completely reasonable.
However, that's not what gitweb was originally designed to do. What you're
describing is a desire for a new feature, not the existence of a bug.
Basically, gitweb does not support relative paths when the base url does not
contain part of the path already.

You're right - that is where the change should be applied, and the change you
suggest is pretty simple.
However, I'm not confident that the syntax for a relative path is the same for
all schemes. (Others on the list, feel free to object.) Since gitweb blindly
concatenates the base URL and the relative project path, I'm worried that
adding the proper functionality for one scheme will yield incorrect behavior
for another scheme.
Can you move your repository to a subfolder? Can use use absolute paths
instead of relative paths? Either of those approaches work around this issue.
I don't mean to coldly tell you that the solution is "don't do that", but on
the surface, this seems like a nasty problem.
