That would break any repository that has a directory called "commit"
in it, wouldn't it?

That said we might be able to pick it up as a top level entry only,
because those subdirs would be expected to be under /tree/*/commit/*.

But we could also not do /cgit/<one level>/commit/* -- for example
https://git.postgresql.org/cgit/postgresql.git/commit/src/backend/tcop/postgres.c?id=960869da0803427d14335bba24393f414b476e2c
is a perfectly valid url to show the part of the patch that affects
just this one part of the path.
