@metatype Thanks for looking at the Travis issue.
I get what you're saying with the second RewriteRule, but my concern is
that it also would impact directories that shouldn't be impacted, like `11`,
`10`, and soon `12`. In other words, it would redirect `/guide/11/` to
`/guide/11/11/`.
I spent the past couple of weeks submitting to Google's My Removal Requests
page every search result pointing to `/docs/guide/...`. There may be a few
stragglers, but Google should zap them when it eventually re-crawls the Geode
site. Not creating a redirect to the files at `guide/` might cause some
short-term strife with broken links from, for instance, the wiki, but I think
the impact will be minimal and may be remedied by fixing the broken links to
point to the new `guide/latest/` locations.
I _could_ create redirects for each of the files and directories within
`guide` that we want redirected to `latest`, but that seems more like a bandage
that eventually would need to be removed anyway.
What do you think?
