Broken commit history after redirection of git links to github

[progandy]

Commit c20aba6 has changed the location for package sources from git.archlinux.org to github.com/archlinux.

In the process, the links were changed to show a subdirectory of the master branch instead of the package specific branch.
That makes it impossible to view the commit history of some packages, for example:

https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/commits/master/netsurf/trunk

Sorry, this commit history is taking too long to generate.

I suggest to revert back to the package specific branches, i.e.

https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/commits/packages/netsurf/trunk

What is the reason for this anyways? Is it an intermediate step to allow an easier migration path to gitlab or to reduce the load on the arch server infrastructure?
