That link doesn't work. I thought at first that it was incorrectly copied, but you can see it here:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grep.git/log/?qt=grep&q...

And clicking on it says 'No repositories found'. Anybody else have this problem?

Alternate link:

http://repo.or.cz/w/grep.git/commit/c6e3ea61d9f08aa0128a0eb1...

(Yea for the "D" in DVCS.)

Also, the corresponding bug which has additional discussion:

Just FYI, "Yea" and "Yay" are not synonymous.

Doh. I see I mistyped "its" up above as well. (Or maybe iOS did that for me.)

Yes, seems like Savannah can't completely handle HN ;)

The error message doesn't suggest this is a load issue. Also, wouldn't the entire app go down rather than a single link?

If it's not a load issue and neither some intended limitation to prevent load issues, somebody pulled it on purpose. ...which I actually included in not being able to handle HN. ;)
