We currently only support redirects above the repository level.
Redirections inside would be a completely different feature.
Why not just leave a top level folder with some readme?
I think you should be able to redirect the normal webbrowser GETs though, as
I don't think we use those urls from our ra layers. (Or did we start using
them for HEAD requests in HTTPv2?)
