+        When a test report is publicly available, this provides a way
+        to reference it.  Typical <URL>s would be build logs from
+        autobuilders or references to mailing list archives.
+
+        Some autobuilders only retain their logs for a limited amount
+        of time.  It is less useful to cite these because they may be
+        dead links for a developer reading the commit message months
+        or years later.
