Hi folks,

it would be nice if a remote theme page contained a direct link to the respective Github repo.  
There is a link “About theme” which typically leads to a topic here on meta (where the link to github can be found) and the _License_ link would typically link to the github repo. However, both of these are useless if you happen to fork a theme and make local modifications.

Maybe something like this could work?

Alternatively, the link could be below the _Check updates_ button.

Also, now that we can import from specific branches, the branch itself should be displayed as well or at least the link to Github should go to that branch.

If this sounds reasonable, would you accept a PR?
