[llvm-dev] Invalid link on Github

[Will Dietz via llvm-dev]

@Anton:
Interesting, thanks for the details.
Certainly sounds like the right choice, not that that was in question :).

I think I poorly expressed myself earlier-- what I meant was more:

"This message suggests llvm-mirror repositories have something
incorrect/misleading/outdated, but after some investigation it appears
things are more or less as they should be. Okay to close issue?"

O:)

I realize the last line of my previous message probably looked more
like a complaint about LLVM's git services/hosting, that was not my
intention at all (apologies!).


@Mahdi (OP): It's unfortunate that those URL's are clickable but lead
to 404's but I do like recording what remote URL's are being mirrored,
seems like the thing to do.  Thanks for reporting this behavior, I
certainly was unaware.  Do you have any suggestions about how to
improve the description to be less misleading or otherwise improved?

Thanks folks!

~Will
