Description

It seems that git supports redirects, as pointed out here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/41307446/946226. So it would be rather easy to redirect a git client that issues

git clone http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc-heap-view

to the repository specified in the source repository field (if present and for git, of course) to the real repository.

This feature might have a nice effort-to-effect ratio, simplifying life for power users a bit.
