Valentin Gagarin 8fb477a6e7 add path based redirects up to now, those were managed outside of this repo, which as unsurprisingly a real hassle to deal with if one wanted to prevent URLs from breaking when moving pages around. this change removes a large part of the friction involved in moving content in the Nix manual. possible next steps for further automation: - check for content that moved and warn if it's not reachable from links that were valid prior to a change - create redirect rules automatically based on this information (cherry picked from commit 2b7016cc56d12e67de9f1f25b18311866a26a5fe)		2023-11-27 13:29:00 +00:00
