Good idea, it's now implemented as a simple redirect in nginx.

Example: https://git.staging.openwrt.org/f27f3e7f233

Fun fact, I discovered the existing magic can also translate SVN-style revisions:

  https://git.openwrt.org/r10000

This will no longer work with the new setup, but I doubt it's still used
nowadays...
