Version schema file not found

I'm unsure if this is an issue here, so please feel free to close this.

The schema file
does not seem to exist anymore:

I changed master in the path to main, and now it is found again. Did it move recently, as I'm sure it worked with master a few months ago?

According to https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/managing-branches-in-your-repository/renaming-a-branch, "raw file URLs are not redirected." This information was added to the docs in github/docs#4830 in April 2021 so it's not a recent change.

Maybe the master branch was not deleted immediately when main was added? The version.json file in this repo referenced the master branch until 3c38b4d#diff-093664cc0c7cf4a76165141e93265eeb139f655bbee8105ed3ee2534a612354c.

I don't know about that doc, but the raw URL is being redirected. master was renamed to main just yesterday. The raw URL you've been using would still work, except that I also changed the capitalization of the path, which doesn't get forwarded.

Original url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dotnet/Nerdbank.GitVersioning/master/src/NerdBank.GitVersioning/version.schema.json
Update just casing: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dotnet/Nerdbank.GitVersioning/master/src/Nerdbank.GitVersioning/version.schema.json
Update just branch:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dotnet/Nerdbank.GitVersioning/main/src/NerdBank.GitVersioning/version.schema.json
Update casing and branch: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dotnet/Nerdbank.GitVersioning/main/src/Nerdbank.GitVersioning/version.schema.json

So we see by testing that the branch name isn't the problem. It is getting redirected. It's the case change.

This is really unfortunate. We should keep the URL that everyone is using working.

When this PR completes, the original URL will work again, and any "fix" you made to accommodate the new URL will cease to work. So I advise everyone to not fix their URLs at this point (except perhaps to change master to main, but that's optional).
