Log:      Finish issue #146 ("1.7 change: Permanent HTTP redirects are
automatically followed.").

* en/book/ch04-branching-and-merging.xml
   Add a note about using permanent redirects to give clients a clue
   about a repository's new location, and point out that 1.7 clients
   will automatically relocate working copies when they see such
   things.
