That works for people who look at the
repo. If they just click on a link they will get a 404 and not the readme
ifle.

Well, to quote you "A
Gerrit change is against a repository. If the changed project is moved,
the Gerrit change won't work anymore (unless it gets fixed, as mentioned
in my message)." :P
 
I talk about links from/to http://git.eclipse.org/c/

I undestant what you mean now. In the past we used to
leave the folder around with short readme file pointing to new location.
That should be enough IMHO.

Hmm, I look at http://git.eclipse.org/c/jdt/eclipse.jdt.ui.git/tree/org.eclipse.ltk.core.refactoring/pom.xmland
don't see anything related to Gerrit :). So you would have to tell me exactly
what should I look for :)

But I don't get why this is more an issue than removing any other file
in a Git repo. What makes it a possible blocker here?

Because it affects tons of files. It would be good to have a redirect in
place.

Dani, are you speaking for open Gerrits or for gerrit links in cgit?
For the former - there aren't that many open gerrits or we are doing really
bad job in welcoming people to contribute. Even if there are ( less than
100 gerrits against jdt.ui repo, not sure how many are against ltk bundles)
- applying them before or rebasing them would not be that much of effort.
For the later - I am all for preserving history, context and etc. but when
this goes to a state where it prevents further improvements and rationalizing
of our procedures, codebase, collaboration it becomes more than obvious
that we have hit a limit in how much can be preserved in a sane way. Furthermore,
personaly I have a special feeling about gerrit links being considered
that important now - it always felt like duplication and waste of resources
to have BZ and gerrit. BZ is our ultimate tracking tool and bz links will
not get broken so gerrit changes will still be accessible through bz links.
IMHO such a gerrit redirect would be nice to have but in no way a pre-req
for driving some part of the project further.

A Gerrit change is against a repository. If the changed project is moved,

Ok, I'll check Gerrit changes to find those which ones affect the LTK bundles.
For other changes, a simple rebase would work._______________________________________________
