FWIW (and partially so I don't forget), I figured out why that link
didn't work: the URL "/files" shows the page for the tip revision, or
you can use "/files/<some revision id>". When you go to "/files/", it
thinks you're specifying the revision ID "", which obviously fails.

Anyway, this is all off-topic for a thread about looms. If you weren't
interested, sorry for wasting an e-mail. :-)
