That'd be my fault as well.

Is there any actual point to doing this, over using the file browser? I
didn't even realize we had this link there, so I broke it when I rewrote
the redirector in a way that it doesn't support directories anymore :-S

There are two easy fixes:

1) remove the link :-) If there's no actual point to it. But I assume
you choose the link for a reason?

2) update redirector to support a redirect for the *root directory*

I think #2 is easy to do, so I'll go look at that for now.

But there's also the question - do we have links elsewhere, or need for
links elsewhere, that link to subdirectories - not files, and not root -
that don't go through our file browser?
