Additional: one use for file redirects is to allow transclusion of an
"always-up-to-date" link. Basically, individual files should be stable:
File:African borders 2011.jpg should always show the 2011 borders, etc. If
people want to transclude a "current African borders" file, that should be a
redirect: File:current African borders.jpg, which can be redirected to whatever
the current file is for that series, so in 2012 it can be changed to point to
File:African borders 2012.jpg, etc. 

Now, ideally, a template on the redirect would explain matters, but because
file redirects don't show any non-redirect content that's not possible at the
moment.
