No, I'm talking about the path to the actual files and have created
a review:

	https://reviews.freebsd.org/D29829

The fix is trivial and a functionally equivalent replacement of the
SVNWEB link (I just noticed that I had suggested a path that lead to
a different representation of the content and have updated the patch
that is attached to this review).

I'd suggest to test the suggested path of cgit.freebsd.org/ports/plain
by directly patching the file on the web-server just for the purpose of
verification of accesses still working, then to commit it to the doc
repository.

I cannot locally test the change, but if it has bad side-effects, it
can easily be reverted.
