Reference Source hashes have changed, so links no longer work

This issue originally filed by @IanKemp in here https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/20690. I am moving it to the right repo
Go to http://referencesource.microsoft.com/
Scroll down to the Link to a type/member text and click the link corresponding to that text: http://referencesource.microsoft.com/mscorlib/a.html#1f55292c3174123d
Notice that you are not directed to the appropriate line of code as you would expect. Instead, you are shown a page containing the text Don't use this page directly, pass #symbolId to get redirected.
This seems to have occurred because the file hashes (I assume) that are used for this functionality have changed. This affects Visual Studio extensions like Ref12.
While I'm utterly thrilled that this issue has finally been opened in the correct repo, I am less thrilled that, after two weeks of back-and-forth to achieve the aforementioned, the actual underlying issue remains unresolved.
I'm running into this issue for all interfaces.
