I don't have much control over those links; they are generated by some
magic part of GIT itself that I can't seem to locate on the GIT server. 
In all likelihood this problem will resolve itself sometime in the future
when the GIT server is upgraded for normal maintinance, but for now I
guess we just have to live with it.
