I'd prefer to have as few repositories and repository URLs as possible.
This would hopefully make things less confusing for developers and is
one less thing to monitor and maintain on the server side. (On the other
hand I think there's a compelling argument for mirroring to GitHub,
especially if we can import pull requests into Gerrit.)
For the time being I've redirected the following URL prefixes to Gerrit:
http://anongit.wireshark.org/git
http://code.wireshark.org/git
https://code.wireshark.org/git
I'm able to fetch using a couple of old test repositories here. If
anything isn't redirecting properly please let me know.
(It looks like people are still checking out from
anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark. I'm not sure what to do about that.)
