Hello!
I like to link to the Postgres source code and comments in my extension
code comments. I use https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb for that, as it
seems to be the canonical site for Postgres source code.
Lately, I have encountered HTTP 429 errors when trying to access blobs. For
example,
curl -I '
> https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=blob;f=HISTORY';
> HTTP/2 429
> date: Wed, 13 Aug 2025 04:29:33 GMT
> server: Varnish
> x-varnish: 1288456
> retry-after: 300
> content-length: 0
Is this intentional? If so, is there a better domain or site to (roughly)
permalink to specific lines of released Postgres code?
Thanks!

We had to shut down a lot of that stuff thanks to web-scrapers eating
infinite amounts of bandwidth. (The AI bot companies will be first
against the wall when the revolution comes ... but I digress.)
You might try linking to the github mirror at
https://github.com/postgres/postgres.
So far they seem able to resist the onslaught of uncivilized jerks.

My guess, because they are owned by one of them.
