There are also very few references to gitweb URLs in mailing list discussions like in [2] and I think it is not a big deal either to break those links for now. There would be a solution ready for that URL changing problem, see [3] but I can't be on this until next week. Ah and the clone URLs in cgit pages report git.osmocom.org as host name (e.g. git://git.osmocom.org/moto-boot-usb) and cloning from there does not seems to be working. We can fix these details as time permits, so I'd say go ahead, thanks Harald.
