(That location previously contained an old BK repo of Sparse; I tarred that up and saved it if anyone wants it for some reason, but I think the Git repo contains the history.) I will soon move the Git repository as well, to the original location at /pub/scm/devel/sparse/sparse.git . I will likely maintain a symlink from my current repo's location, to avoid gratuitously breaking people's checkouts or automated scripts. However, I know that other people sometimes maintain Sparse Git repositories, and as far as I can tell, "people" directories only exist under /pub/linux/kernel/people. Where should people keep Sparse repos, if not there? Also, if possible, I'd like to have an HTTP 301 redirect from http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/josh/sparse (and everything under it, via RedirectMatch) to the corresponding page under the new homepage at http://kernel.org/pub/software/devel/sparse . Could someone with the appropriate access please do so, or let me know if I can do so somehow? - Josh Triplett
