+* The URL is rewritten to
+ <http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/gnumach/ddb%2Fdb%5Fexpr%2Eh?view=log&root=hurd&pathrev=gnumach-1-branch>,
+ which the remove server doesn't like. Mind the esacping of [^A-Za-z0-9].
+ Might this be a problem of the web server?
+
+Also, I'd like to put the shortcut usages into backticks
+-- `[[iki shortcuts]]` --
+to have them displayed in the usual backtick-formatting.
+That also doesn't work, but this is an already-reported issue, as far as I know.
