Well, all inner links go through href() subroutine, so this is where you would want to make changes. Having project in pathinfo would be easy, having branch/ref harder because it might be in hash, or in hash_base parameter.

Perhaps we should use
	my $path_info = $ENV{MOD_PERL} ? $r->path_info() : $ENV{PATH_INFO};
