That had happened shortly after I wrote that last mail.

Today I turned off the subversion repository at madwifi-project.org, and
put up a redirect to its new home over at sf.net. You will notice it when
trying to check out from http://madwifi-project.org/svn: the svn client
should let you know that the repository has moved permanently to a new
location and that you need to relocate your local working copy. See [1]
for instructions.

I took care of this topic today, too. I've tried my best to also establish
redirections for "deep links" that one might have bookmarked or found in
search engine results.

I am aware of only one feature that could not be covered that way: when
browsing changesets, Trac allows to select one of the modified files and
show only the changes applied to this single file. The sf.net changeset
browser offers a similar functionality, but the URLs to these views
contain a parameter with a commit ID that cannot be determined with the
means of mod_rewrite rules. However, I think this feature is not used
often, so this small breakage should not hurt.

Bye, Mike
