#4205 Please put mod_rewrite (or equiv.) in place so that old gitweb links work again in current cgit environment
Closed: Fixed Opened by jpokorny.

I think it was quite insensitive to roll out new URL scheme without backward compatibility for the old one, leaving plenty no-longer links behind.
I hope it is easy to at least restore compatibility for direct commit
links.

I can also help with finding out the mapping rules if you let me know
what technology would be used for this (mod_rewrite or something else?).

We don't need two tickets for this. Discussion can be in 3619...

In short this was fragile and broke all kinds of things.
