For an example, see https://git.csx.cam.ac.uk/x/ucs/git/git.git

I have three items in @extra_breadcrumbs which point to the University
home page, my department home page, and my git server's home page; there
are a number of gitolite accounts on the server each of which has a
project listing which is where gitweb's home link points.

(I expect to change the link texts to make it less confusing when you
happen to be looking at my department's account on the git server...)

our @extra_breadcrumbs = (
  [ cam => 'http://www.cam.ac.uk/'      ],
  [ ucs => 'http://www.ucs.cam.ac.uk/'  ],
  [ git => 'https://git.csx.cam.ac.uk/' ],
);

This is in line with our house style (none of which I have implemented on
this server yet) - there are other examples of similar breadcrumb trails
at https://raven.cam.ac.uk and http://new-webmail.hermes.cam.ac.uk

There is a more generic version of this description and config example in
v2 of my patch. I hope it is clear enough. I'll send a v3 patch with the
code tweak.

Tony.
