Improve 404 returned when linking to a deleted directory
Problem to solve
- I gave a link like this one:
https://framagit.org/myuser/myrepo/tree/master/mydirectory. - It worked first but then I deleted
mydirectory. - After the deletion, the link now returns a 404 with no details (just a big scary page).
Proposal
I would be nice for the 404 to contains details on the repository.
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
A new 404 with a link to the repository/project root.
Less people getting lost with a 404 link, we can measure it by looking at how many people click on the repo link when they are showed the 404 page.
