This actually goes back to the time when we were switching from CVS to git.

We can clean that up now, I think :-)

As for use of github, its use is hardcoded in the case of multi-commit
changesets because I don't know a way to make the standard gitweb
display those, although it might exist. And TBH github's display of
indiviual commits is lots nicer, too. Compare
<https://github.com/postgres/postgres/commit/a82178020de2c4b3576d0a079e11a431e382e4de>
with
<https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commit;h=a82178020de2c4b3576d0a079e11a431e382e4de>

The github repo is a mirror of the repo at git.postgresql.org. I don't
see a problem with using it.
