Are you using gmail? They have made some changes recently that breaks
the viewing of the URLs. Haven't heard any non-gmail user complain,
and not entirely sure how to fix it. a workaround is to use "copy link
location" or whatever it's called in your browser and then paste that
- that works without errors.

I'm actually not entirely sure it's a gmail bug - it looks more like
it's at least partially gitweb's fault, but I'm not entirely sure...

Hgweb (the Mercurial equivalent of gitweb) has the same problem. I
have the impression that the semicolons in the URLs are initially not
escaped correctly or something. Both hgweb and gitweb use semicolons
in the URL; hgweb shows "no such method: changeset;node=69b90bdd52d1"
when following such a "...?cmd=changeset;node=69b90bdd52d1" link from
GMail (using Chrome, in case that matters).

Workaround: When I press enter on the URL in the address bar while the
404 is showing, the page reloads correctly without 404-ing.
