Hi Paul,

I realize that this isn't the right forum, so please redirect
appropriately for follow-ups, but do you know whether there is any plan
for a redirect host/service for the alioth repos?  The BTS is full of
links commits in Alioth, so the migration will leave all of these links
broken.

It is for this reason that I have been using the migration scripts + the
disable hooks.  It gives users a pointer of sorts.  (For example, see
[1].)  My concern is that if I delete the repo, the redirect crumbtrail
will be gone forever.

Thanks,
tony
