Perhaps name this argument '-subaction' or '-action_argument', or
something like that; the meaning of this argument (as shown by the fact
that action name is hyperlinked) is to specify subaction of given action,
i.e. (possibly) more detailed view of some part of generic (argument-less)
action output.

Ah, I'm sorry, I have misunderstood the control flow here. I see now that it is about adding subaction specifier after action, so that 'remotes' view for single remote 'origin' (<URL>/remotes/origin path_info URL, see comments for patch introducing single-remote view) has

  _projects_ / _repo.git_ / _remotes_ / origin
in the "breadcrumbs" navigation in page header.
This should be better described in the commit message.
