Many links on scm-git.org/docs simply reload the page.

For example, all of Sharing and Updating section simply reload the docs page. And tons others. Must be a broken link or routing problem. Repros on FF 14.0.1 and Chrome. Good luck!

IRC was useless.
Also, fuck your stupid email policies. :)

Looking at the request, I am getting a 302:

Request URL:http://git-scm.com/docs/git-fetch Request Method:GET Status Code:302 Moved Temporarily

Maybe those pages are not done yet? That doesn't seem right as this is simply the reference manual, but perhaps there is something else going on here.

On another (related) note, the wayback machine has some very interesting entries for the scm-git.org domain [1] and it seems the /doc directory is not indexed at all. Is this on purpose?

Re: Links broken in ref docs.

So, this is due to the major AWS outage today. git-scm.com is hosted on Heroku and thus on AWS. Heroku is continuing to bring up their database systems in the wake of the massive AWS outage. Once that is back online, git-scm.com will also be back online.

As for the git-fetch issue, we'll look into it once Heroku is back online.

Not seen any recently. I'm guessing the dev is in the path of hurricane Sandy? (Not sarcasm, btw.)

Do you still see failures? I checked out the website just now and it seemed to work flawlessly (at least the links I tried, could not find any Sharing or Updating section). New design since I last visited, more end-user polish.

Re: Links broken in ref docs.

I just checked and the issue seems to be fixed! Clicked around on a bunch of previously broken links and they work!
