Weird because SWH says it is in. Requests at 21/09/2020, 23:47:09 then
click. :-)

 - scheduled: 21/09/2020, 23:47:21
 - start: 21/09/2020, 23:47:24
 - end: 21/09/2020, 23:53:26

Well, the issue is:

- Not in: https://scm.gforge.inria.fr/anonscm/svn/mpfi/trunk/mpfi
<https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/search/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fscm.gforge.inria.fr%2Fanonscm%2Fsvn%2Fmpfi%2Ftrunk%2Fmpfi&with_visit=true&with_content=true>

+ In: https://scm.gforge.inria.fr/anonscm/svn/mpfi
<https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/search/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fscm.gforge.inria.fr%2Fanonscm%2Fsvn%2Fmpfi&with_visit=true&with_content=true>

as you can see here:

<https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/directory/?origin_url=https://scm.gforge.inria.fr/anonscm/svn/mpfi>
