Yeah, that could be the case down the road... but pointing to gitweb
now might be fine.

I think it was pointed at fedorahosted for a while for some reason, so
it was causing a lot of confusion after fedora switched to git for
packages. ;(

Agreed. I don't like that one.

We could look at it, but I thought it had it's own issues. 

Do we need to preserve links into gitweb? I would think if we provided
a ok 404 type response most people would just go look at the top level
and find what they are looking for. 

But perhaps I am not understanding how often people provide gitweb
urls?

I agree.

Yeah, perhaps we could generate a list of all types of urls that pkgdb
exposes now?

admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb
bugz.fedoraproject.org
etc
