Hey Kartik! Good to hear from you. They contain package paths, such as Go import paths or Java "com.example.mypkg" paths, but not file paths.

  At least in the case of Java package paths map 1-1 with file paths, right? Is Go similar? In that case, moving a function to a different package/directory would change the url? Would the old url break, or continue to show the old/stale version?

    Yep, but those languages also define equality in their type systems using the package paths. It's tricky, of course. :) We want to be able to track function moves and renames across packages or even repositories. It'll take some more work to get there.

      Yes, certainly a hard problem. I'm just trying to understand what happens today. Does the link break or (better) just stop getting updated?

        It will break if there is no revision, or a non-absolute commit ID (such as a branch or tag). An absolute commit ID link will continue to work.
