Thank you Peter.

I have to apologize. I might have made some mistake or some 
complex-mixing in my prior post, thus making it more complicated than 
needed regarding "tags".

The ";a=heads -> /refs/heads" is now OK:
 http://git.zytor.com/?p=syslinux/syslinux.git;a=heads
 http://git.zytor.com/syslinux/syslinux.git/refs/heads

But the ";a=tags -> /refs/tags" is not OK yet (should be easy to 
correct, right?):
 http://git.zytor.com/?p=syslinux/syslinux.git;a=tags
 http://git.zytor.com/syslinux/syslinux.git/refs/tags


Additionally, there is also ";h=refs/tags/ -> /tag/?id=":
 
http://git.zytor.com/?p=syslinux/syslinux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/tags/sys
linux-4.07
 http://git.zytor.com/syslinux/syslinux.git/tag/?id=syslinux-4.07

but in this case the ";h=" part of the old gitweb-caching link _might_
conflict with its ";a=" part for the conversion / redirection (see 
below).

These old links (using ";h=ref/tags/") were all valid (and different),
and were all available from the ";a=tags" screen (among others):
 
http://git.zytor.com/?p=syslinux/syslinux.git;a=log;h=refs/tags/syslinux
-4.07

 
http://git.zytor.com/?p=syslinux/syslinux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/tags/sys
linux-4.07

 
http://git.zytor.com/?p=syslinux/syslinux.git;a=commit;h=61f106ba8a5b2a7
c2d9855291fd9e7f4a4d3143d

 
http://git.zytor.com/?p=syslinux/syslinux.git;a=tag;h=a4fcb6d867aadcaf5a
f8f87eb1ba96abe2748159

so I am not sure how this ";h=refs/tags/" should be managed.

Perhaps "Warthog9" might have some suggestion about these 
";h=refs/tags/" cases?


Regarding snapshots, an old gitweb-caching link such as:
http://git.zytor.com/?p=syslinux/syslinux.git;a=snapshot;h=61f106ba8a5b2
a7c2d9855291fd9e7f4a4d3143d;sf=tgz

seems to be converted now to something like:
http://git.zytor.com/syslinux/syslinux.git/snapshot/syslinux-61f106ba8a5
b2a7c2d9855291fd9e7f4a4d3143d.tar.gz?id=61f106ba8a5b2a7c2d9855291fd9e7f4
a4d3143d

Note the extra "id=..." part at the end, after the "tar.gz".
It still
downloads 
the tar.gz archive, and I wouldn't want to interfere with some other 
redirection. It still works, but I thought I should mention it, just in 
case it 
happens to matter for some other link. On the other hand, perhaps the 
ending 
"id=..." here is required by some other conversion / redirection, for 
example 
from an old link that uses some tag or some head reference, instead of 
using 
the same commit id?

TIA,
Ady.

This is the only one I can't seem to get to work.  We might have to ask
the cgit maintainer if there is a way to even get to tag objects by
hash.  Once again, clumsy.

Aren't you explicitly dropping the "refs/tags"?

See the note in your code, "# Drop leading refs/tags".

If I understand correctly

  /tag/?id=syslinux-4.07

refers to the name of the tag, "syslinux-4.07"

whereas:

  /tag/?id=/refs/tags/a4fcb6d867aadcaf5af8f87eb1ba96abe2748159

would be the corresponding reference to the hash. The "/refs/tag/" 
would go after the "?id=".

Or, I am confused and "?id=" is *not* supposed to be used for the
tag's
hash (perhaps there is something else, not "?id="), in which case
there
would be no potential conflict between the tag name and its hash.

TIA,
Ady.
