Syslinux - Jun 2015 - git daemon on zytor is back in action

The git daemon on zytor is now functional again, as I managed to carve
out a little bit of time to dig into the selinux problem.  Cloning git
via either http://git.zytor.com/ or git://git.zytor.com/

However, the web interface is still broken.  I'll see if I can fix it in
the next few minutes, otherwise I'll probably have to pass.

Alright, it looks like gitweb-caching is simply no longer maintained, so
I bit the bullet and switched git.zytor.com over to using cgit.  It
seems to work for me, holler if it doesn't...

Hi Peter,

Thank you.

Moving from gitweb-caching to cgit causes most http(s) links that are 
already pointing to git.zytor.com to fail with the message "Invalid 
request".

Such links might exist in bug reports, mailing lists, documentation, 
and wiki pages; certainly in those that are part of The Syslinux 
Project.

Considering that gitweb is part of (or bundled with) the Git 
distribution archives, is it really necessary to move to cgit?

Perhaps it is possible to simply keep (at least for now) the latest 
version available of gitweb-caching?

Or perhaps there is a way to avoid the "Invalid request" message?
Maybe
by some (automatic) redirection to the adequate corresponding new 
"cgit" link?

In the case of the official Syslinux wiki, we could manually update 
every failing link, but that doesn't help links already posted in prior 
emails (e.g. in the Syslinux Mailing List, in bugzilla.syslinux.org 
...). And then there are other (external) sites, mailing lists, bug 
reports...

@Warthog9, any suggestions?

TIA,
Ady.
