Hi Kay!

I've got another small idea for gitweb, probably only a line or two, but Perl isn't exactly my preferred language :)

The idea is to have a 'Copy Link-Lokation'able link presented by gitweb, maybe placed right to summary, shortlog and log.

That should just link to a URL prefix (git://git.yourbox.tld/some/path) plus the project path. I guess it's something like this, but I haven't tested it. Should be good enough to get an idea of what I ment:
