Hi, I'm digging into the Python bug tracker history and I found links to Subversion commits: "Fixed in r77062 (trunk), r77063 (py3k)." https://bugs.python.org/issue1811#msg96910 Roundup adds links which are redirected: * https://hg.python.org/lookup/r77062 -> https://svn.python.org/view?view=revision&revision=77062 * https://hg.python.org/lookup/r77063 -> https://svn.python.org/view?view=revision&revision=77063 Problem: the svn.python.org links require me to log in with an username and password, and I don't know how to log in. If I cancel the prompt, it fails with: an HTTP Error 401 "Unauthorized". Who manages this Subversion server? Would it be possible to remove this authentication? I know that the Misc/svnmap.txt file in Python contains a mapping from Subversion to Mercurial commits, but Python now uses Git, so it's not convenient. Maybe a new file mapping Subversion to Git commits should be created? Or the https://hg.python.org/lookup/ service should redirect to Mercurial commits at least. Using this map, I was able to manually retrieve the r77062 commit: https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/c4e60988834df0fd437ae3422da0cab4acd6fce0 Victor -- Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death.
