First, I'd rather not introduce new dependency to git (and I think Junio
would agree). Second, more important, we do _parameters processing_,
it means renaming parameters (e.g. 'file_name' in params is 'p' in CGI URI),
in the future perhaps passing project via PATH_INFO not in query string,
and sorting the CGI parameters.

So it wouldn't be as easy as writing 
        $uri->query_form(\%params); 
        return $uri->as_string;
or as 
        return "$my_uri?" . esc_param(join(";", "$_=$params{$_}") keys %params)'.
