The problem I had and have with this patch is the duplication of data: $gitlinkurl contains subset of information in @git_base_url_list, which in turn is filled from GITWEB_BASE_URL build config variable.

I can understand that for performance reason you don't want to check $projectroot/$project/cloneurl nor gitweb.url config variable for each and every displayed project; if the link to repository (for git) cannot be derived from project path (repository path), then simply do not dosplay it.

I'd say that 'Full URL is "$gitlinkurl/$project"' instead of last sentence in above comment.

Please watch for excessive line lengths.

Why not
our $gitlinkurl_base = "++GITWEB_BASE_URL++";
of course changing the name everywhere.

Does it even pass tests?

Changes made: 
* Instead of using separate if conditional statement and print
  statement (note that you forgot to change '.' to ';' to end
  statement) use ternary conditional operator "?:"
* Make $gitlinkurl_base include "git://" protocol specifier
* Do not create "git" link if $gitlinkurl_base is false, which means
  undef, empty string '' and 0 (but 0 is not very likely to be base
  for "git" link).
* Do not use esc_html on fragment of URL.  The CGI.pm should escape
  attributes itself.  If it was HTTP link, one should perhaps esc_url
  on whole link, but esc_html is for escaping HTML.
