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. :)

Including Scott Chacon as he manages this site (to my knowledge).

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?

Regards,

Andrew Ardill

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.

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