I'm confused. We definitely do have clickable commit links, inserted automatically by the post-commit hook, e.g.:
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8577#comment:21
Those links would break if the hashes change, right?
but, as Herbert pointed out, these links point to the testsuite repository explicitly (deadbeef/testsuite). If there did not do that, they would be dead already (e.g. if someone would write them manually and not paying attention to that).
And since they are qualified by the repository they point to, they will continue to point to the (then uncontinued, but unmodified) testsuite repository. Which is – I believe – sufficient to make sense out of old tickets.
The links to the ghc repository are of course unchanged, there is no plan to rewrite history here.
Ah yes, I see. That's fine then. Cheers, Simon
