I did some digging and I believe that it linked to this thread: http://subversion.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=1065&dsMessageId=554817 This 2008 thread links to that thread and says there isn't much there but a question and two responses: http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2008-10/0391.shtml The patch to add the FAQ and link was submitted here: http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2005-07/0049.shtml The individual that submitted the patch started a similar thread here (but got no responses) before the linked one: http://subversion.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=1065&dsMessageId=542737 The thread I suspect it is matches both the number of replies as mentioned in the 2008 message, seems to match up with the information that is put in the FAQ, and has the correct timeframe. All that said having looked at the thread I'm inclined to just remove the link. 9 year old info isn't all that useful now and the truly useful information was added to the FAQ.
