Hello Stefan,

I don't think this has to do with recent changes. It has to do with URL
rewriting by an Apache module.

The URLs in your navigation links are relative to the current directory,
which happens to be on Savannah:
      <a href="emacs.html">Home</a>
      <a href="download.html">Download</a>

If you want them to be rewritten to the software directory, you need to
make the URLs relative to server root:
      <a href="/software/emacs/emacs.html">Home</a>
      <a href="/software/emacs/download.html">Download</a>

As a bonus, you will be able to move files from one directory to another
without breaking the links. For instance, the navlinks will be the same
in emacs.html and tour/index.html.

All the best,
Thérèse
