Re: [PATCH] gitweb: allow extra breadcrumbs to prefix the trail

The v2 patch does just that :-)

Perhaps even make ( [ $home_link_str, $home_link ] ) to be default
value for @extra_breadcrumbs, making new feature generalization
of $home_link*, similarly to how it was done for $stylesheet -> @stylesheets
transition.

I don't think that's a win. There's a lot of existing gitweb.conf out
there which sets $home_link_str, so the code would have to either print
the last element of @extra_breadcrumbs or the $home_link variables
depending on whether the variables were modified. And the documentation
would have to explain this complicated arrangement.
