Broken URLs in Subversion README files

Hi all,

Not sure if this is considered a bug that needs reporting...

Many of the README files contained within Subversion's source distribution 
contain references to the old http://subversion.tigris.org/ URLs. For example, 
tools/README happily says that information about the scripts in that directory 
can be found at:

http://subversion.tigris.org/tools_contrib.html

but this URL is broken. Substituting apache.org for tigris.org produces a 404 
error.

I hope the documents that were once hosted at tigris.org are not lost forever!

The "contrib" section of the Subversion repository and the related
documentation is no longer actively maintained by the Apache Subversion
team.

Well, there's always the Wayback Machine...

http://www.archive.org/web/web.php

http://web.archive.org/web/20080822082136/http://subversion.tigris.org/tools_contrib.html

Then again, there's always the history in the Subversion repository itself:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/subversion/branches/1.5.x/www/tools_contrib.html?view=co

What version?

This is fixed on trunk, and I suppose it's also fixed in recent (last
year's) 1.6.x releases too.

If you see broken URLs in 1.6.15 or trunk, please let us know (on dev@)
and we'll fix them.
