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.

I don't know if the k.org folks would consider that acceptable, though.
