https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiffis the correct URL, 

The baseurl needs a commit id to work, like https://postgr.es/m/<commit_id>.
If you look at the links to commits in the release notes you will see it
working.

For commits, https://postgr.es/m/<commit_id> and for emails on any archived
list it's https://postgr.es/m/<message_id>.
