Allow project links to link to their namespace
There are a few contexts in GitLab where, if you have a project path like "namespace/project", it would help to be able to click the "namespace" half separately from the "project" half. The link would take you to the group or user page that owns the project.
The most prominent context is the project landing page itself, since this gives you an easy anchor for going up a level or refreshing the project's URL. (Image forthcoming..) It's also valuable in contexts where the namespace component of paths aren't necessarily uniform, like on the public landing page.
As a hack we made a new helper analogous to link_to_project: https://gist.github.com/dvander/9407433 (though it uses shortnames, not human names).
