Important articles on git-scm.com no more accessible

I maintain a local wiki at my $dayjob which contains a page dedicated
to Git which, among other things, liks to various useful bits of
information on the internets.

Recently I discovered that a number of useful articles which sort of
accompanied the "Pro Git" book are now inaccessible (404), namely:
"Smart HTTP Transport" [1], "Reset Demystified" [2], "Note to Self" [3]
and "Git Loves the Environment" [4].  I wonder if this is a known
problem and/or whom I could contact about this issue?

2. http://git-scm.com/2011/07/11/reset.html
3. http://git-scm.com/2010/08/25/notes.html
4. http://git-scm.com/2010/04/11/environment.html

I think those links were broken by the site reorganization about a year
ago. You can get to them at:

  http://git-scm.com/blog/2010/03/04/smart-http.html

and so on. In general, problems with git-scm.com should be reported at:

Oh, I was about to respond that links I referred to are returned by
Google search for their respective article titles (it did so
yesterday).  So I went to verify this and just observed that Google
started to return liks pointing to (supposedly) Scott Chacon's site,
like

  http://scottchacon.com/2011/07/11/reset.html

for the "Reset demystified" article.  Hence I suppose Scott was
just transferring those articles to their new home.

and so on. In general, problems with git-scm.com should be reported

Thanks!

Sorry about that - a recent PR that was merged changed the routes that
handled this for some reason.  I just added the historical routes back
and they all should work again.
