Hmm... good point.  That does make it hard.  I could imagine making it
work by having separate hierarchies, and then using apache rewrite
rules so that anything that doesn't begin with vX.Y.Z in the top level
of software/scm/git/docs/* gets redirected to LATEST/*, where LATEST is
a symlink that is managed via kup.

We could move vX.Y.Zs out of scm/git/docs/ hierarchy.  The existing links
from external sites rarely point at a documentation page of a specific
version, I suspect.

People can be trained to look at scm/git/old-docs/vX.Y.Z when they want to
see how older command set looked like, even those who know that in olden
days they would have consulted scm/git/docs/vX.Y.Z for that information;
they are much less of a problem than existing pages whose links want to
stay working.
