Yes, indeed.  It appears that your browser is rather poor :-).  (Most
are...)

They aren't available.

The information here comes from the flights database, which contains
the URLs used to clone the code, but not any corresponding links
suitable for use in a browser.[1]

In fact, osstest doesn't handle or know of such browseable links for
any of the trees it deals with.  In the general case such browseable
links may not even exist.

[1] It is true that in some cases, for some trees, there are links
that can be used for both; but we prefer to have osstest use git://
urls because they cache well, with our git caching proxy.

Ian.
