I've always found difficult to figure out git URL for clone from gitweb URL because git:// and http:// are different on many site including kernel.org.

I've found this enhancement at http://dev.laptop.org/git when I was on git channel, and thought that it'd be nice if all public gitweb site show it's git URL on its page.

This patch allow us to change the home link string. The current default is "projects" as we all see on gitweb now.

ie. kernel.org might set this variable to "git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/"
