If you are posting about git.buildroot.net - - -

Then:
http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot "master" is 4 days old

And:
http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/ "master" is 30 hours old

Same, same, known problem.

Check your browser after you try each "view" - your browser may
be trying to "help" you by removing the '/' regardless of what
you actually entered.

Note: http servers **should** re-direct from /directory to /directory/
but this one does not and it is a "managed" server.
The hosting providers have not been able to find out "why" for
quite some time now.
