Hi,

Answer 1

One option: grab the source for Gitorious and customize it for your needs.

Take a look at Gitweb. Their homepage not only provides the details on Gitweb itself, but also on alternative web frontends to git.

Answer 3

Take a look at "Web Interface" section of InterfacesFrontendsAndTools page on Git wiki, and at Gitweb page, also on Git wiki.
