Bug#679349: qa.debian.org: unhelpful handling of older VCS browse links (op=log)

[Vincent McIntyre <vincent.mcintyre@csiro.au>]

Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

The hplip package source has this:
  Vcs-Browser: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-hpijs/hplip/?op=log
The (browse) link in the packages.qa.d.o page [1] is the same URL.

Following that link gives this result:
  An Exception Has Occurred

  An illegal parameter name was provided.
  HTTP Response Status

  400 Bad Request

Expected results:
  server tries a redirect to http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-hpijs/hplip/


This is why #459012 is a good idea.

Thanks for working on this service, it's fantastically useful.
Vince
