@vegard@mastodon.social Better but still really painful to fix; public-inbox is pretty firmly built around the idea that archived messages do not change.

@corbet@social.kernel.org @vegard@mastodon.social links breaking and needing to be updated could possibly have been foreseen when public-inbox was built.

@corbet@social.kernel.org @vegard@mastodon.social Perhaps a system to rewrite the URLs when displaying messages would do? Something like git's mailmap, but for URLs.

@corbet@social.kernel.org @vegard@mastodon.social public-inbox uses git for storage right? I wonder if it's possible to use git-replace to replace the blobs for those messages with the URLs rewritten.
