also affected by the off-by-one

Yesterday,

https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-trunk/repository/revisions/46778

and

https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-trunk/repository/revisions/46778/diff/pack.c

were publicly readable, but today both of them result in a "Ruby Issue
Tracking System" login screen. We're not sure how to interpret this,
e.g., maybe all of 46778 has become private because the "different
issue affecting Ruby 2.0 and 2.1" is now embargoed?

That's probably unrelated change / regression in the Ruby bug tracker.

Checking some other random bug report, when logged in using a
completely unprivileged account, I see:
- revision strings (rXXXX) are clickable links pointing to URLs as above
- actual revisions / diff are accessible

While doing the same while not logged in:
- revision strings (rXXXX) are not turned to links
- revision / diff pages redirect to login

Anyway, you can view the above commit / diff via:
http://svn.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi?view=revision&revision=46778
