Not really sure if this makes sense for my changes (they do for Benoît's 
though).

My changes mostly strive to add HTTP-URLs for the Webstatus so that the 
repo/project name get a link (and thus make things more connected), 
apart from just showing an id which manually needs to be found somewhere 
else on the (inter/intra)web.

Of course, I had always imagined repos to be short (i.e. part of a path, 
etc) and that the full URL with server's and all would be kept within 
the config. Mostly, I guess, because a buildmaster that builds changes 
with the same buildfactory from repos on different servers wasn't in my 
world before. ;) .. (I can adapt.)

Anyway, we should keep the option to have short ids, which we do with 
the current %s/dict/callable approach.

We might also need a new filters to shorten these repo strings a bit, as 
the full URL might be too verbose in places where we show tables of 
revisions from many repos. We'd just have the project/repolink return a 
tuple. I can easily add that.

Did I miss anything?
