Redirect /snapshots to /git-snapshots

dscho · dscho · commit aa2adb90b723 · 2025-10-15T10:46:09.000+02:00
The snapshots are hosted in the GitHub Pages of the https://github.com/git-for-windows/git-snapshots/ repository. That repository name is reasonably distinctive for a repository, but it is reflected in the URL https://gitforwindows.org/git-snapshots/, making it a tad tedious to write out the first time. Let's redirect the URLs `/snaps` and `/snapshots` for convenience. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
