That's disappointing; I found it a quick way to browse the log, commits,
and code often. The gitweb interface is still up:
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=guix.git>.

That would be my guess. I think I saw a report of that yesterday on
#guix. I'm assuming it is from following the Binary Installation
instructions at
<https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Binary-Installation.html>.

So, assuming the gitweb interface stays up, we could replace the link
with
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=guix.git;a=blob_plain;f=etc/guix-install.sh;hb=HEAD>.
Or maybe there is a better way to wget that file? And while we're at it,
we should provide a hash for that to be verified against, no?
