Wow, thanks for the info. It's a shame they don't provide a read only mirror or a big archive of all the repos. Even today, on 2020,I still stumble upon some Google code repositories that I'm Glas are kept archived.

Agreed, I think straight deletion is pretty irresponsible, but it was possible to see this kind of thing on the horizon since the sale to Atlassian. It's good to know how seriously they take the custodianship of potentially extremely important resources.
