The key situation where I'd use it is if I'm tracing back the review and commit history of some older change. Often commits will be referenced within Phabricator reviews as rLXXXXXXX, which would previously allow you to click on them to get to the commit (this might in turn have links to other commits/reviews etc). Using the SVN id to look up the git commit is possible, just more time consuming.

Hi,

Can you clarify why is this important or why is a feature we need to preserve? Are these URLs posted and referenced anywhere?

The whole "LLVM repo" in phabricator is disabled right now and can't be browsed really: https://reviews.llvm.org/diffusion/L/ ; phab only provides a frontend for the repository, not an entire copy of it I believe.

Thanks,

Hi Nathan,

Bummer!  I had no idea Phabricator was connected to the SVN server in this way.  I'll have to see if I can get a conversation going with the Phabricator maintainers and see if there is a way we can address this.  Thanks for the heads up.

Hi Mike,

Not sure if anyone else has brought this up, but since turning the svn
server off, phab is no longer able to display commit details for older
commits to the svn server.

https://reviews.llvm.org/rL202984
As an example, results in an error like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Command failed with error #1!
COMMAND
svn --non-interactive --no-auth-cache --trust-server-cert cat
https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk/include/llvm/ADT/IntrusiveRefCntPtr.h@202983

STDOUT
(empty)

STDERR
svn: E170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL '
https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk/include/llvm/ADT/IntrusiveRefCntPtr.h'
svn: E175013: Access to '/svn/llvm-
project/llvm/trunk/include/llvm/ADT/IntrusiveRefCntPtr.h' forbidden
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Im guessing this is an issue that needs solving on the phabricator side
of things?
