(See site/tools/ for the generating scripts.) The logic for converting the message-ids into URLs is embedded in [1] (which I have tried to make discoverable, [2], but that seems to have regressed, and I'm ENOTIME to chase it).

We should keep old links working, if possible. Ideally, not only links we happen to have lying around, but also other links (e.g., in people's non-public branches of https://github.com/apache/subversion). There's more than one way to preserve links (redirecting old URLs to new URLs for the same messages; keeping the site online but not updating; keeping the site online and updating, on ASF hardware, e.g., svn-qavm.a.o; etc.). Any and all assistance would be most welcome! > (Daniel S... seems to be a popular name!) It is, yes. And then there are people like danderson, who aren't named "Daniel" but still get in the way of tab-completing Daniels ☺ Cheers, Daniel
