Ug, yes, this is now a big mess. I had presumed the old revision history would be persistent, so it would just be a mess going forward, but that seems to not be the case. Need to mull on this a bit. BTW, you're link above to discussion now leads to an error page (much like all our revision links :~( ).[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 05:59, 22 August 2011 (CEST)
OK, so some hope, per godisgovernment a restructure is occurring with one of the outcomes being...
"Embed the original svn revision number in each git commit, so it's easy to find which git commit is equivalent to an old svn commit."
...hopefully, with such in place, we can at least restore the historic linkages. Future linkages to revisions will likely need to use the ugly hashes (until it becomes more clear regarding how version tagging may be handled). Hopefully the promise of more frequent versions will mitigate this to some degree, and enable reliance on version numbers for reporting.
 
Regarding the Version Compatibility template, it's current format could be preserved by associating revisions with dates and then revising the template to use some date parsing rather than the raw version numbers to scale the entries. Setting up the associations would be a PITA, but I'm guessing it could be extracted from GIT and appropriate wiki content parsed out without too much trouble. However, maintaining such seem problematic, so I'm guessing we'll likely end up with just a shaded table.[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 06:29, 22 August 2011 (CEST)
