For some definition of "we"; AFAICT, github has never allowed this, and
this is the first complaint (we run a stock git-daemon, but our forwarding
proxies are picky about getting real "user/project" style paths, since
they need them to route to the correct backends).

However, it turned out to be a one-line patch. I've pushed it out for
review by other GitHubbers. The last thing the world needs is me
deploying anything to a live website.
