So I posted a request on StackOverflow[0], worded like so:

I have tried the first recommended solution, amongst many many others 
while reading Apache httpd docs, and I feel I must be missing something. 
Can someone point out to me how to properly get a .htaccess file to 
remove cgit.cgi even with it in the same directory as underlying 
component files? I wanted to bundle my compilation of cgit in one place 
as I had to change some variables for my shared host, and I wanted to 
keep up with development of cgit. Any thoughts?
