Strange, the link works for me.
It points to commit 2f094e7ac691abc9d2fe0f4dcf0feac4a6ce1d9c.

Yours,

When I clicked the link, the page errors, but there's an error message
at the top:

===
This page contains the following errors:
error on line 6484 at column 177: EntityRef: expecting ';'
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

I think this may be an issue with gitweb?

Now it is back to not working, and this is what I get:

XML Parsing Error: unclosed token
Location: https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=2f094e7ac
Line Number 5231, Column 41:

Yeah, I got a rendering error too (yet a different one). I think that
commit is so large that we're running into browser rendering engine
bugs. Or maybe gitweb is failing to send it all.

It's working right now, but next time it fails, if someone can check with a
view source or similar if it happens to be that gitweb just cut off the
outputsomewhere in th emiddle without finishing it. That is, if it is a
HTML page but doesn't go all the way to </html>.

Hi Magnus,

Yeah, I got a rendering error too (yet a different one).  I think that
commit is so large that we're running into browser rendering engine
bugs.  Or maybe gitweb is failing to send it all.

... this is how the page ends when it is not working (Browser is Firefox):

<div class="patch" id="patch90">
<div class="diff header">diff --git <a class="path" href="/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=blob;f=src/include/parser/analyze.h;h=abc5f11cafd6655c57e77f4cac7522ad6a1ed4b1">a/src/include/parser/analyze.h</a> <a class="path" href="/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=blob;f=src/include/parser/analyze.h;h=e10270ff0ffdedc9cc1e713c5b1431558cc594ca;hb=2f094e7ac">b/src/include/parser/analyze.h</a></div>
