When I want a cvs log or cvs blame on a file, I use lxr to search for the file, but then I have to load the file before I can get a link to get to the blame or log pages. Please please please, could lxr give me a link to those on the small page it gives me when I search for a filename, so I don't have to load the whole file? (Less critical now that 4.61 fixed the bug where loading a large file hangs the browser, but it would still be nice not to have to go through the extra step.)

Akkana, You logged this bug 5 years ago... Is this still a problem for you?
Yes, nothing has changed since then and it would still be really helpful.

i do intend to fix this. i have one concern. i often use lxr to get a list of files i want to process from a shell. I do this by copying the text from the web page into the shell.... should we just drop my use case?

mxr is gone, mass closing.
https://searchfox.org/ is a much better alternative.
