Using Linux links could be a way

is there anywhere in the configuration which I can hack?

Not in configuration.

Repository path is set in the constructor of the class FileRepository_Backend_FileSystem.

You should hack everywhere this class is instantiated (search for "FileRepository_Backend_FileSystem" in the code) ... At your own risk :)

It would be nice if you could post how you did it, for future reference,.

the express way:

open /config/config.php

add:

define( 'MY_OWN_UPLOAD_DIR' , 'my/own/dir' );

open lib/filerepository/backend/FileRepository_Backend_FileSystem.class.php

find function getRepositoryDir and setRepositoryDir, then change to:

function getRepositoryDir() {
      //return $this->repository_dir;
      return MY_OWN_UPLOAD_DIR;
   }

function setRepositoryDir($value) {
      if(!is_null($value) && !is_dir($value)) {
         throw new DirDnxError($value);
      } // if

      /*if(!folder_is_writable($value)) {
         throw new DirNotWritableError($value);
      } // if*/

      //$this->repository_dir = $value;
      $this->repository_dir =MY_OWN_UPLOAD_DIR;
   } // setRepositoryDir
