That's great, until code.google.com no longer resolves, at which point it won't help :( Would be nice if they used that info to automatically redirect to the new site.

They said they would on the blog post

    I work on Google Code, and we will be putting a service in place to redirect
    deep links to project homepages, issues, etc. to their new locations.

    Projects on Google Code will need to set the "project moved" flag, under the
    advanced tab of the project. But once set, things should work like you
    expect.

They also should be returning a 301 and the new URL so crawlers can follow it and delete the old site from their records...

Why would they make it easier for someone else to properly index the web? They've got that covered.
