There's a similar situation with mailing lists where many of the old links to archives like marc.info, spinics.net, lkml.org, etc., are now dead or not as useful for building tools (b4, for instance). So no big deal, but I would probably silently convert them when applying. The current formats I use are: commits: https://git.kernel.org/linus/dff6139015dc files: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/pci/pci-acpi.c?id=v6.0#n976 Bjorn
