Fedora developers will doubtless correct me if I'm misleading you, but changing the definition of PID would be a major undertaking. PIDs are namespaced for very good reasons. What's more, it's not clear (to me) that obtaining URLs of a particular form requires changing the definition of PID. A PID is (as the name would have you believe) an identifier, which only incidentally becomes part of an URL fragment.
You could consider proxying your repository through an Apache httpd instance using mod_proxy then using mod_rewrite to make your URLs anything you desire. Of course, similar tools exist for other webservers. --- A.
