So Ward created the alias back in 2009. That's useful to know. And it appears that this message is the only documentation for it that has been produced so far. Ward appears to be replying to an RT ticket posted by you. Of course none of us have access to the RT ticket queue. So on the surface this seems very much like the Hitchhiker's Guide plot where plans to destroy the Earth were posted publicly in a file cabinet in the 3rd subbasement of some bureaucracy somewhere that doesn't matter but clearly it was impossible for anyone on Earth could know about it. Literally I think that you Alfred have been the only person to know about and use this alias. Because you appear to have been the one to have requested it. Literally this one's for you! > > git.gnu.org always pointed to git.sv.gnu.org. > > > > There is nothing "undocumented" about it. > > Where is it documented? > > FSF sysadmins. Ward added the record and clearly knew about it but Ward has not been working as an FSF sysadmin for many years now. This is why actual documentation is so important. Documentation bridges between generations of people working on things. Bob
