bugz.fedoraproject.org does, but of course that's a trivial change.
There are also two links here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_Fedora_GIT#References
And presumably quite a few links in bugzilla comments, etc.
A naive query shows 2469 links to http://git.fedoraproject.org/git/?...
Yeah.
Two possible options:
a) Setup some kind of redirect for the old links that tries to get people to approximately the same package/area.
b) Setup a redirect to a page that says we switched to cgit and how to search it for what they are looking for.
Looks like there are some folks who have worked on such redirects in the past: http://ao2.it/en/blog/2011/05/06/migrate-gitweb-cgit-url-rewrite-rules
Does anyone know how often those urls are really accessed? I would expect in the case of bugs to be used perhaps for reference during reviews or bugs, but then when closed, no one bothers anymore?
Any further feedback on this idea? ;)
