Describe the issue

Trying to access the blame view of dist git results in a "Forbidden" error message.

Example:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/wine/blame/wine.spec?identifier=rawhide
or
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/roundcubemail/blame/sources?identifier=rawhide

When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD)

N/A

When is this no longer needed or useful? (YYYY/MM/DD)

N/A

If we cannot complete this, what is the impact? [Dependencies/Blocker]

Blame view via the web is handy...

Hey, I think this is intentionally closed off because of AI scrapers acting up.

Yes, the web endpoint is deliberately blocked due to massive abuse by crawlers. ;(

You should just git clone the repos and locally use git blame.

Sorry for the trouble... I think we can close this.

Thanks... can the dist git web UI either remove the blame button or add a notice?

It may be possible, but no one really has the cycles to do so right now, especially since we are moving to a new forgejo based setup before too long.
